CVE-2025-3530: WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart <= 5.1.2 - Unauthenticated Product Price Manipulation

Published Apr 23, 2025
·
Updated

The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to product price manipulation in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to a logic flaw involving the inconsistent use of parameters during the cart addition process. The plugin uses the parameter 'producttmptwo' for computing a security hash against price tampering while using 'wspscproduct' to display the product, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to substitute details from a cheaper product and bypass payment for a more expensive item.
