SCA: security update for cardgate/woocommerce (GHSA-5pq5-9phv-q5j3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 433467

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- An issue was discovered in the CardGate Payments plugin through 3.1.15 for WooCommerce. Lack of origin
authentication in the IPN callback processing function in cardgate/cardgate.php allows an attacker to
remotely replace critical plugin settings (merchant ID, secret key, etc.) and therefore bypass the payment
process (e.g., spoof an order status by manually sending an IPN callback request with a valid signature
but without real payment) and/or receive all of the subsequent payments. (CVE-2020-8819)
