PayU India <= 3.8.3 is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation vulnerability

Unauthenticated
Published
2025-01-06

The PayU CommercePro Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.3. This is due to /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token and /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost REST API endpoints not properly verifying a user's identity prior to setting the users ID and auth cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create new administrative user accounts.

CVSS

Score:10

Severity:Critical

Version: 3.8.3

There is a patch available in v3.8.4 and we strongly recommend you update to this version as soon as possible.
