The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on December 13, 2023, affecting WordPress installations using this payment gateway plugin. The issue stems from the plugin's failure to properly validate the api_url parameter before redirecting users to its value (WPScan, CVE Mitre).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the plugin's redirect functionality when accessing the URL path /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&action=redirect_telcell_form&api_url=.
