- CVE-2025-14073, 1 Aug 2026
- The WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Disclosure due to an Insecure Direct Object Reference 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. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive order information including order keys, which can then be leveraged to access full customer billing details (name, email, phone, address) via the WooCommerce Store API within a 10-minute grace period after order creation. CVE record
- CVE-2026-9284, 23 May 2026
- 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. CVE record
What to do if you run WooCommerce PayPal Payments
If you run WooCommerce PayPal Payments, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.

After dealing with the affected software, check administrator users, unexpected file changes, redirects, unfamiliar pages and security logs for signs that the site may already have been altered.
