CVE-2025-12903
Payment Plugins Braintree For WooCommerce <= 3.2.78 - Missing Authorization to Payment Token Exposure and Transaction Fraud
Description
The Payment Plugins Braintree For WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the wc-braintree/v1/3ds/vaulted_nonce REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.78. This is due to the endpoint being registered with permission_callback set to __return_true and processing user-supplied token IDs without verifying ownership or authentication. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve payment method nonces for any stored payment token in the system, which can be used to create fraudulent transactions, charge customer credit cards, or attach payment methods to other subscriptions.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Payment Plugins Braintree For WooCommerce de mrclayton, Description: El plugin Payment Plugins Braintree For WooCommerce para WordPress es vulnerable a un bypass de autorización debido a una comprobación de capacidad faltante en el endpoint de la API REST 'wc-braintree/v1/3ds/vaulted_nonce' en todas las versiones hasta la 3.2.78, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el endpoint está registrado con 'permission_callback' configurado como '__return_true' y procesa IDs de token proporcionados por el usuario sin verificar la propiedad o la autenticación. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados recuperen nonces de métodos de pago para cualquier token de pago almacenado en el sistema, lo que puede usarse para crear transacciones fraudulentas, cargar tarjetas de crédito de clientes o adjuntar métodos de pago a otras suscripciones. -
