WPCafe exposes guest orders to unauthenticated manipulation
WPCafe before 3.0.18 returns the wrong failure type from permission callbacks on order-management REST endpoints. WordPress therefore permits unauthenticated callers to read guest order information and to change the status of, or trash, arbitrary orders. The authoritative export identifies the affected endpoint group and permission-callback failure but does not disclose the route or parameter names.

- Sep 11, 2026
This CVE was published Sep 11, 2026 and is one of 2 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update WPCafe to 3.0.18 or later. The authoritative export marks versions below 3.0.18 affected. The application-level fix must make each order REST permission callback return a proper authorization failure and verify the caller's capability for the specific order.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
The WPCafe WordPress plugin before 3.0.18 does not correctly restrict access to a set of order-management REST endpoints because their permission callbacks return an incorrect type on failure, allowing unauthenticated users to disclose guest order information and to change the status of, or trash, any order.
