Summary
The Simple Shopping Cart WordPress plugin from 5.1.3 before 5.3.3 does not verify submitted product prices against a value only the site owner can set. This is an insufficient verification of data authenticity (CWE-345) that lets a user with the Contributor role or higher register attacker-chosen prices for existing products. Any visitor can then add those products to the cart at the registered price. A public exploit is linked in the references.
