Description
WooCommerce PayPal Pro Payment Gateway plugin before 4.1.1 contains an unauthenticated payment bypass vulnerability that allows remote attackers to mark unpaid orders as paid by exploiting the pp_capture_order AJAX handler, which is gated only by a public checkout nonce and fails to properly validate the PayPal capture response status. Attackers can supply a valid _paypal_order_id to trigger payment_complete() without verifying the capture status or amount, causing the store to fulfill goods or services that were never paid for and resulting in direct financial loss to the merchant.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-127204. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
