Technical description

The Tamara Checkout WordPress plugin through 1.9.9.20 does not verify the order key, a nonce, or any capability on its public payment cancel/fail return URLs, changing a WooCommerce order's status based solely on an attacker-supplied numeric order id, so an unauthenticated attacker can cancel or fail arbitrary orders store-wide by enumerating ids (triggering downstream stock-release and notification side-effects).

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
