CVE-2026-9702
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 · uneditedThe InPost PL WordPress plugin before 1.9.1 does not verify that the request originates from the legitimate buyer before allowing the WooCommerce order parcel-locker destination to be updated, allowing unauthenticated attackers to silently redirect the shipping destination of any pending or processing order on the site.
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.

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.
-
Check InPost PL plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find 'InPost PL' (or InPost Paczkomaty). The version number is displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, check the plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/inpost-pl/inpost-pl.php for 'Version:' tag.Affected if Version is lower than 1.9.1 (e.g., 1.9.0, 1.8.x, etc.)
-
Verify WooCommerce is activeIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and confirm WooCommerce is installed and active. This plugin extends WooCommerce shipping functionality.Affected if WooCommerce is not installed or not active - the vulnerability only affects WooCommerce order shipping destinations
-
Check for pending or processing orders using parcel locker shippingIn WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce > Orders. Look for orders with status 'Pending payment' or 'Processing' and check the shipping method - look for 'InPost', 'Paczkomaty', or 'parcel locker' in the shipping details.Affected if There are pending or processing orders that use InPost parcel locker shipping - these are the orders that could be tampered with
-
Test parcel locker destination update endpoint accessibilityIf you have access to server logs or can make a test request, examine the AJAX endpoint or REST API route used by the plugin for parcel locker updates (typically involves 'inpost' or 'parcellocker' in the URL). Attempt a request without authentication credentials to see if it is accepted.Affected if The endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests and processes parcel locker destination updates without requiring user verification
You are affected if the InPost PL plugin version is below 1.9.1, WooCommerce is active, and there are pending/processing orders using InPost parcel locker shipping that could be modified by unauthenticated users.

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.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the InPost PL plugin to version 1.9.1 or later. Additionally, implement proper authentication and authorization checks (e.g., verify user session, add nonce validation) before allowing order destination modifications.
InPost PL plugin version 1.9.1 or later
- Create a full backup of the WordPress site before making any changes
- Update the InPost PL WordPress plugin to version 1.9.1 or later through the WordPress admin dashboard (Plugins > Available Plugins > Update Now)
- Alternatively, upload and install version 1.9.1 or later manually via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
- Verify the update completed successfully by checking the plugin version in the installed plugins list
- Test that legitimate customers can still set parcel locker destinations on WooCommerce orders without issues
- Confirm the site is functioning normally after the update
