Official description
The Eupago Gateway For Woocommerce WordPress plugin before 4.7.2 does not properly restrict access to its refund request handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to initiate refunds against any WooCommerce order using the merchant's payment gateway credentials, and for applicable payment methods, to redirect refunded funds to an attacker-controlled bank account.

The underlying weakness: Improper Access Control
The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
