At a glance
CVE-2026-84043 is a medium-severity Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity vulnerability in the ePayco plugin for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions < 8.4.7. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 8.4.7; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2026, reported by Pedro Pinho.
Vulnerability Overview
The ePayco plugin for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Payment Bypass in all versions up to 8.4.7. This is due to missing mandatory signature verification in the payment confirmation callback handler, where the HMAC signature check was only computed under a conditional and could be bypassed by omitting required fields, and the check_ipn_response function unconditionally accepted all incoming requests with if(true). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary WooCommerce orders as paid by sending a crafted payment confirmation callback without a valid ePayco gateway signature.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
Remediation
Update to version 8.4.7, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: ePayco plugin for WooCommerce 8.4.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
