How to Fix CVE-2026-10580

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-10580, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-285: Improper Authorization, where the product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Administrator Account Takeover in all versions up to and including 1.9.4. This is due to a logic conflation in HippooPermissions::get_user_permissions(), which returns the same null sentinel for both administrators and unauthenticated visitors — a value that HippooPermissions::has_role_access() unconditionally interprets as full administrator access — causing override_extension_permission_callback() to assign __return_true as the permission callback for every WordPress and WooCommerce REST route cloned under /wc-hippoo/v1/ext/ by HippooControllerWithAuth::re_register_external_routes(), while the block_unauthorized_access() pre-dispatch guard fails to block unauthenticated users for the same reason. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke any core REST endpoint without credentials — most critically, sending a POST request to /wc-hippoo/v1/ext/wp/v2/users/<id> with a {"password":"<new_password>"} body to reset the password of any WordPress user, including the site administrator, and gain full administrative control of the site.
