Vulnerability Overview

The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3 due to lack of randomization of a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access customer shopping carts and edit product links, add or delete products, and discover coupon codes.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.1.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
