The Cardinity Payment Gateway for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.4.2 does not properly verify the authenticity of the payment notifications it receives, as the secret used to sign them is empty by default, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge an approved-payment notification and mark arbitrary orders as paid, or force them to failed.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.
