WPC Name Your Price for WooCommerce: External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-16620 is a high-severity external control of assumed-immutable web parameter vulnerability in WPC Name Your Price for WooCommerce, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2.2.5 as the first without the flaw, so updating WPC Name Your Price for WooCommerce to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

The WPC Name Your Price for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.2.5 does not enforce its server-side price allowlist for products configured in "Select" price mode, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to add such a product to the cart at an arbitrary value below the merchant-defined allowed prices and commit a real order at that price (revenue loss / underpriced orders). This is a distinct, unfixed vector from CVE-2025-12115, whose 2.2.0 fix only addressed applying a custom price to products where Name Your Price is disabled and left the Select-mode allowlist unenforced through 2.2.4.

The underlying weakness: External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter

The web application does not sufficiently verify inputs that are assumed to be immutable but are actually externally controllable, such as hidden form fields.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
