Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Rupantorpay plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the handle_webhook() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify WooCommerce order statuses by sending crafted requests to the WooCommerce API endpoint.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Rupantorpay WordPress plugin has a broken access control vulnerability in the handle_webhook() function. This function, intended to process WooCommerce API webhook requests, lacks proper capability verification, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to send crafted requests that modify WooCommerce order statuses arbitrarily.

MitigationUpdate the Rupantorpay plugin to version 2.0.1 or later which implements proper capability checks on the handle_webhook() function to verify user authorization before allowing order status modifications.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Rupantorpay plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Rupantorpay' in the list. Note the version number displayed next to the plugin name.
    Affected if The plugin is not installed or not found in the plugin list
  2. Check installed plugin version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number from the plugins page to version 2.0.1. Versions prior to 2.0.1 are vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 2.0.1 (for example, 2.0.0, 1.x.x, or any version below 2.0.1)
  3. Confirm WooCommerce integration is active
    Verify WooCommerce is installed and active, as the vulnerability targets WooCommerce webhook processing functionality.
    Affected if WooCommerce is active and the Rupantorpay plugin handles WooCommerce order webhooks
  4. Inspect webhook endpoint accessibility
    Check if the Rupantorpay webhook endpoint is exposed by reviewing the plugin files (typically in the plugin directory, looking for handle_webhook function) or by reviewing server access logs for POST requests to webhook URLs handled by the plugin.
    Affected if The handle_webhook function is accessible without authentication (any version below 2.0.1)

You are affected if the Rupantorpay plugin is installed with any version prior to 2.0.1 and handles WooCommerce webhook requests.
