DescriptionCVE.org

XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a payment replay vulnerability in the PayPal REST payment provider that allows attackers to process the same webhook payload multiple times by exploiting a missing duplicate transaction ID check. Attackers can replay a valid webhook payload to trigger duplicate payment events, resulting in repeated subscription activations and unauthorized account upgrades.

AnalysisAI

Unauthorized subscription upgrades in XenForo before 2.3.13 are achievable by replaying valid PayPal REST webhook payloads, because the platform performs no duplicate transaction ID check before processing incoming events. An attacker who possesses a legitimately captured webhook payload - for instance, from a prior genuine purchase - can retransmit it repeatedly to the XenForo webhook endpoint, triggering repeated subscription activations and elevating account privileges without additional payment. …
