Summary

The Directorist WordPress plugin before 8.11 does not verify that the user requesting an order's payment receipt owns that order. Any authenticated user with low privileges, such as a subscriber, can read other users' order and payment information, including amounts, payment method, payment status and transaction ID. The flaw is an authorization bypass through a user-controlled key (CWE-639), and a public exploit is linked in the references.
