Descriptions

The WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier WordPress plugin through 1.1.0 does not have authorisation and CSRF when updating status orders via an AJAX action available to any authenticated users, which could allow low privilege users such as subscriber to update arbitrary order status, making them paid without actually paying for them for example

The WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on an AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a customer, to modify arbitrary order status and mark orders as paid, for example, when the order isn't actually paid for.
