CVE-2026-12432

NVD	https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-12432
CWE	https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/862.html

The WP Full Stripe Free plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 8.4.3 via the wpfs_update_failed_payment_status AJAX action. The handler is registered through both wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks and the underlying update_failed_payment_status() function performs no capability check, no nonce verification, and no logged-in check before calling $this->db->updatePaymentByEventId() with attacker-controlled POST parameters. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who can obtain a valid Stripe Payment Intent ID for the target site (Payment Intent IDs are exposed to the customer browser during normal Stripe.js checkout flows) to manipulate payment records in the sites database, marking previously successful payments as failed and overwriting failure codes and messages with attacker-supplied values.

Weakness

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

Potential Mitigations

Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
