CVE-2026-96200: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Payments for Hubtel
The Payments for Hubtel WordPress plugin before 1.0.2 does not verify that payment notifications received by its payment callback come from the payment provider, allowing unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary orders as paid without payment.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-96200 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Payments for Hubtel WordPress plugin prior to version 1.0.2. The plugin fails to verify that payment notifications received by its payment callback endpoint originate from the legitimate payment provider. As a result, attackers can forge payment notifications to mark orders as paid without completing a real transaction.
Potential Impact
An attacker can manipulate the payment status of orders by sending unauthorized payment notifications, potentially leading to fraudulent order fulfillment without actual payment. This compromises the integrity of the payment process but does not directly affect confidentiality or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Payments for Hubtel plugin to version 1.0.2 or later where this authorization check issue is fixed. Since no official patch link is provided, users should verify with the plugin vendor or repository for the fixed version 1.0.2 and apply the update promptly.
