27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-8818 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting the CardGate Payments plugin for Magento 2, specifically versions through 2.0.30. It stems from a lack of origin authentication in the IPN callback processing function, allowing an authenticated attacker to remotely alter critical plugin settings like merchant ID and secret key.

While rated 8.1 HIGH on CVSS, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion.
