Simpler Checkout, CVE-2025-7642

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-7642
Home page URL: Security reports for Simpler Checkout
Application: Simpler Checkout
Published on: Aug 23, 2025
Research Description: The Simpler Checkout plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions 0.7.0 to 1.1.9. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a user's identity prior to logging them in as an admin through the simplerwc_woocommerce_order_created() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as other users based on their order ID, which can be an administrator if a site admin has placed a test order.
Affected versions: Min 0.7.0, max 1.1.9.
Status: vulnerable
