WooPayments takes your card payments, so a security issue in it is worth fixing straight away. The fix builds on one WooCommerce announced in August 2026.
WooCommerce hasn't described the issue in detail, but it asks every store using WooPayments to check its version, including staging and development sites, even if updates are automatic.
