Critical CVSS 9.1
CVE-2026-16038
NVD analysis in progress
The MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 does not verify the payment with the payment gateway before marking an order as paid on several of its payment-completion endpoints, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to mark an arbitrary order fully paid without paying and obtain goods or services for free.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- No authorisation check happens before the action.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
