Description

The WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on an AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a customer, to modify arbitrary order status and mark orders as paid, for example, when the order isn't actually paid for.
