This failure allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify the quantity of items in the cart to a fractional amount, which subsequently changes the total price based on the fractional amount.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-660919792\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/cart\/update HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{\n&quot;item_id&quot;: &quot;123&quot;,\n&quot;quantity&quot;: &quot;0.1&quot;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the \/cart\/update endpoint, changing the quantity of the item with id &#8220;123&#8221; to &#8220;0.1&#8221;. This changes the total price to 10% of the original price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vendors are advised to apply the available patch immediately. Temporary mitigation can be achieved by using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS). It is also recommended to upgrade WooCommerce to version 9.8.2 or above, as the vulnerability cannot be exploited with this version installed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview This report details the CVE-2025-8198 vulnerability that affects the MinimogWP &#8211; The High Converting eCommerce WordPress Theme.
