CVE-2026-7626 — The Slek Gateway for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in version 1.0

Medium CVSS 5.3

The Slek Gateway for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in version 1.0. This is due to the wsb_handle_slek_payment_redirect() function placing the merchant's slek_key and slek_secret API credentials directly into a client-side HTML form, and additionally embedding the slek_secret as a plaintext GET parameter in the IPN callback URL. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who can place an order on the affected store to extract the merchant's API credentials by viewing the HTML source or using browser DevTools on the WooCommerce order-pay page before the JavaScript auto-submit fires.

Matched remediation archetype

Information disclosure and sensitive data exposure

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace sensitive data through responses, errors, logs, metrics, traces, caches, exports, files, backups, and client bundles.
  • Identify affected subjects, tenants, retention windows, access controls, and downstream copies without opening unnecessary sensitive records.
  • Review metadata, timing, status, length, and existence signals as well as direct content disclosure.

Remediate safely

  • Minimize collection and output, apply field-level authorization and redaction at a centralized boundary, and return generic external errors.
  • Remove secrets and sensitive data from logs, artifacts, URLs, caches, and client-side bundles; rotate credentials that may have been exposed.
  • Update the affected component and add synthetic-data tests for response, error, observability, and export paths.
