Exploitation evidence

CVE published 5 Nov 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 5 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Upgrade the YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards plugin to version 4.38.1 or later, where this issue has been fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided.

Description

A vulnerability in the YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards WordPress plugin versions before 4.38.1 allows attackers to redeem a gift card multiple times concurrently, spending more than the card's funded value. This occurs because the plugin does not lock or atomically update the gift card balance during checkout.

Impact

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to overspend a gift card's balance by performing multiple concurrent redemptions, potentially causing financial loss to merchants using the affected plugin versions.

Summary

The YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards WordPress plugin prior to version 4.38.1 has a concurrency control flaw where the gift card balance is not locked or atomically updated when redeemed at checkout. This allows an attacker possessing a gift card code to submit multiple simultaneous checkout requests using the same code, resulting in spending beyond the card's actual balance.
