# YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards: race condition lets gift cards be overspent

The YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards WordPress plugin does not lock a gift card's balance during checkout, so redeeming the same code in parallel checkouts can spend more than the card holds. An attacker holding a gift card code can obtain goods or credit worth more than the card's funded value.

_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, or in the plugin's main file header.
- Confirm whether the YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards plugin is active on the store.

## Fix

- YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards: move to `4.38.1` or later.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-05T06:31:52+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-88814

## From the sources

The YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards WordPress plugin before 4.38.1 does not lock or atomically update a gift card's balance when it is redeemed at checkout, allowing an attacker who holds a gift card code to spend more than its funded value by submitting multiple checkouts for the same code at the same time.
