This flaw affects all versions up to and including 3.1.4. The vulnerability stems from the plugin\u0026rsquo;s reliance on an unsigned cookie, \u0026lsquo;o_stripe_data\u0026rsquo;, to determine Stripe product ownership for unauthenticated users. The \u0026lsquo;get_customer_data\u0026rsquo; method uses this cookie, and the subsequent \u0026lsquo;check_purchase\u0026rsquo; method trusts its contents without proper server-side validation against the Stripe API. This lack of verification enables attackers to gain unauthorized access to purchase-gated content. The target product ID is often exposed in the checkout block\u0026rsquo;s HTML source, further simplifying the exploit. Successful exploitation allows attackers to bypass payment requirements, potentially impacting content creators and businesses relying on the plugin for revenue generation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site using the vulnerable Otter Blocks plugin (version \u0026lt;= 3.1.4).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker examines the HTML source code of a checkout block on the target site to identify the target product ID.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious \u0026lsquo;o_stripe_data\u0026rsquo; cookie containing the target product ID.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker sets the forged \u0026lsquo;o_stripe_data\u0026rsquo; cookie in their browser.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker navigates to the purchase-gated content on the WordPress site.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u0026lsquo;get_customer_data\u0026rsquo; method reads the forged \u0026lsquo;o_stripe_data\u0026rsquo; cookie.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u0026lsquo;check_purchase\u0026rsquo; method incorrectly validates the forged purchase data without server-side verification against the Stripe API.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker gains unauthorized access to the purchase-gated content, bypassing the intended payment requirement.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-2892 allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass purchase verification mechanisms implemented by the Otter Blocks plugin.
