CVE-2026-19887
The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.12.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the Telecom EDY payment callback (usces_action_acting_transaction). Unauthenticated attackers can store arbitrary 'reserve' key/value pairs as order metadata during a public checkout, then invoke the callback with an attacker-chosen 'option' parameter to select and unserialize that metadata without any provider signature, source-address, transaction-identity or ownership check. A POP chain is present in the TCPDF library bundled with the plugin itself, so no additional plugin or theme is required. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, including wp-config.php, which can lead to remote code execution when an attacker re-runs the WordPress installer against a database they control. Successful exploitation is contingent on an admin printing an invoice to trigger file deletion.

Potential Impact
Severity is HIGH (CVSS 8.8). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.
Exploitability Assessment
Exploitability is assessed as Very High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.
Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites
Mitigation Recommendations
Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.
Detection & Monitoring
Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.
Business Impact Lens
AI risk score 92/100 (Critical, Very High) with priority P1 Immediate. Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
