## Description

The Directorist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference via the REST checkout retry-payment endpoint in versions 8.8.1 up to, and including, 8.10.7, due to missing validation that the supplied order belongs to the current user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to start new payment attempts, creating payment records, on pending or failed orders belonging to other customers.
