Summary
The Cart Abandonment Recovery for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not verify the integrity of its cart-recovery token and still accepts an unsigned legacy token format (CWE-287). An unauthenticated attacker who knows a victim's cart session identifier can modify that victim's abandoned-cart record, such as unsubscribing them from recovery emails or applying an arbitrary coupon to their restored cart. An exploit link is listed in the references.
