CVE-2026-39602
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 · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in Rustaurius Order Tracking order-tracking allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Order Tracking: from n/a through <= 3.4.3.
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 · moderate confidenceThis is a missing authorization vulnerability in the Rustaurius Order Tracking WordPress plugin (versions through 3.4.3). The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before executing sensitive operations, allowing unauthenticated or lower-privileged users to access functionality that should require higher access rights.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Rustaurius Order Tracking plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugin directory or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name='order-tracking' or inspect /wp-content/plugins/ directory for 'order-tracking' folderAffected if Plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Determine the installed plugin versionCheck the plugin header in main PHP file (usually in /wp-content/plugins/order-tracking/ or look for 'Version:' in plugin files), or use: wp plugin get order-tracking --field=versionAffected if Version is lower than the latest patched version (compare to vendor release notes when available)
-
Test for unauthenticated access to order dataSend HTTP requests to common plugin endpoints (e.g., /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_order_status, /?order_tracking=...) without providing authentication credentialsAffected if HTTP response returns order data, customer information, or sensitive details without requiring login
-
Test for privilege escalation via plugin functionsLog in as a low-privilege user (subscriber/editor) and attempt to access plugin administrative functions or AJAX actions related to order management that should require administrator privilegesAffected if Low-privilege user can view/modify order data or access admin-only features
User is affected if the Rustaurius Order Tracking plugin is installed AND (no authentication is required to access order data OR low-privilege users can access restricted admin functions)

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper WordPress capability checks (current_user_can) on all sensitive functions, AJAX endpoints, and admin pages. Update to version 3.4.4 or later when available.
