## What is CVE-2026-119747?

CVE-2026-119747 is a high-severity vulnerability in AyeCode Ltd Payment forms, Buy now buttons, and Invoicing System | GetPaid, published on 4 Nov 2026. 

### Official description

The GetPaid plugin for WordPress before 2.8.63 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability where the check_post_permissions() method in includes/api/class-getpaid-rest-posts-controller.php maps REST operations to generic WordPress post capabilities instead of enforcing the plugin's manage_invoicing permission. Authenticated users with lower-privileged roles such as Editor or Author can exploit this flaw to list other users' invoices, mark pending invoices as paid without recording payment transactions, or create published items and new invoices through the REST API.

Weakness: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization)
