description

Directorist WordPress plugin versions before 8.11 inadequately authorize requests to the checkout payment-retry REST action. An authenticated user, including a subscriber-level account, can create payment-attempt records associated with orders owned by other users because order ownership is not enforced.

mitigation

Update the Directorist WordPress plugin to version 8.11 or later. Until updated, restrict untrusted user accounts and limit access to the affected checkout functionality where possible.

fixed in 8.11
