Summary

The WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin for WordPress up to version 4.0.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate orders and leak information due to missing authorization on AJAX endpoints ppc-create-order and ppc-get-order. Attackers can create PayPal orders for any WC order and read other users' PayPal order details.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can manipulate other customers' payments, alter orders, and steal sensitive data such as payer information and shipping details.

Recommendation

Immediately update the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin to the latest version. If no patch is available, temporarily disable the plugin.

Other vulnerabilities in WooCommerce PayPal Payments

CVE-2025-14073Medium
The WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure due to an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in all versions up to and including 3.3.2 via the enqueue_paypal_insights_script_on_order_received() function due to missing validation on a user-controlled key.

Original NVD description (English source)

The WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized order manipulation and information disclosure due to missing authorization checks on the `ppc-create-order` and `ppc-get-order` WC-AJAX endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. The `ppc-create-order` endpoint accepts an arbitrary WooCommerce order ID in the `pay-now` context without validating order ownership, allowing attackers to create PayPal orders for any WC order and write PayPal metadata to it. The `ppc-get-order` endpoint returns full PayPal order details for any PayPal order ID without binding to the requester's session. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to chain these endpoints to manipulate other customers' order payment flows and exfiltrate sensitive order details (payer information, shipping data) by creating a PayPal order for a victim's WC order and then retrieving the PayPal order data.
