What is CVE-2025-11271?
The Easy Digital Downloads plugin for WordPress contains a significant order manipulation vulnerability due to an order verification bypass. This issue arises in all versions up to and including 3.5.2, where the order verification process is compromised when an attacker supplies the parameter 'verification_override=1' in the POST body. As a result, unauthenticated actors can submit forged Instant Payment Notifications (IPNs) that are erroneously validated, even on production sites where verification is typically enforced. While this manipulation is constrained to the orders that the attacker has previously placed, it poses a serious risk, enabling the possibility of fraudulent activities within the system.
