Summary

The Payment Gateway for Telcell WordPress plugin before 2.0.5 does not verify the authenticity of incoming payment notifications because the secret used to sign them is empty by default. An unauthenticated remote attacker can forge a valid notification and mark arbitrary WooCommerce orders as paid, and the same handler can mark an attacker-chosen order as failed when given an invalid signature. This is classified as CWE-345, Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity. A public exploit is linked in the references.
