Publication date: 2026-08-21

Last updated on: 2026-08-21

Assigner: WPScan

Description
The myCred WordPress plugin before 3.2.5 does not verify that the receiver of an incoming payment gateway notification matches the site's configured merchant account, allowing unauthenticated attackers to have arbitrary amounts of the site's in-site currency credited to an account by completing a payment for the expected amount to a gateway account they control rather than the site's.

Executive Summary

The myCred WordPress plugin before version 3.2.5 has a flaw in its payment gateway notification handling. It fails to verify if the receiver of a payment notification matches the site's configured merchant account. This allows unauthenticated attackers to credit arbitrary amounts of the site's in-site currency to any account by sending a payment to a PayPal account they control instead of the site's actual merchant account.

Detection Guidance

Check if your myCred plugin version is below 3.2.5 by inspecting the plugin files or WordPress admin panel. Look for unauthorized currency transactions in site logs or user accounts.

Impact Analysis

If you use the myCred plugin before version 3.2.5, attackers could exploit this to add fake currency to any user account without paying. This could lead to financial losses, devaluation of your site's currency, or abuse of your site's reward system. Users might gain unfair advantages or receive undeserved rewards.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized transactions or data manipulation, potentially violating GDPR if personal data is involved or HIPAA if health-related rewards are affected. It may result in non-compliance due to lack of proper transaction verification and security controls.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the myCred plugin to version 3.2.5 or later immediately. Review transaction logs for suspicious activity and disable the buyCRED feature if not in use.
