# WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin stores customer account passwords in plaintext

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-123145 (this .md is for agents)

The WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin saves the password a customer picks at checkout into order metadata in plaintext. Anyone who can read order data or the database can read those passwords, which customers may reuse elsewhere.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed plugin version in WordPress admin under Plugins; versions before `11.1.0` are affected.
- Check whether the plugin was at `10.9.0` at any point, since those versions stored passwords.
- Search the order metadata in the database for plaintext password values saved on orders created through express checkout.

## Fix

- WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway: update to `11.1.0` or later, which removes the stored passwords on update.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-09T07:25:05+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-123145

## From the sources

The WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway WordPress plugin before 11.1.0 does not exclude the account password from the checkout fields it saves to order metadata during express checkout, causing the password a customer chooses when creating an account at checkout to be stored in plaintext in the database, readable by anyone with access to order data or the database. Version 10.9.0 stored the passwords. Version 10.9.1 stopped new ones from being stored but left existing ones in place, and version 11.1.0 removes them on update. Passwords stored this way should be considered exposed.
