Network-reachable but AC:H because a specific app-side Cache-Control override plus a shared cache must both be present; S:C as a separate cache component is affected; only low confidentiality, no integrity/availability.

Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information in ZenHive mpp allows a shared HTTP cache to store a paid response and serve it to clients that never paid.
MPP.Plug.verify_credential in lib/mpp/plug.ex sets payment-receipt and cache-control: private on the connection before the wrapped application runs, and registers no register_before_send/2 callback. Plug.Conn.put_resp_header/3 replaces an existing header, so a mounting application that sets its own cache-control on the paid resource (for example public, max-age=3600) silently overrides the private the library relies on, and a CDN or reverse proxy can then store the paid 200 together with its Payment-Receipt and serve both to unpaid clients. The library-level guarantee is therefore defeatable by the application it protects. For the same reason a downstream non-2xx response still carried Payment-Receipt, issuing a receipt for a response that delivered no resource.
This issue affects mpp: from 0.1.0 before 0.16.2.
AnalysisAI
ZenHive mpp (MPP.Plug payment middleware for Elixir/Phoenix) versions 0.1.0 through 0.16.1 can allow a shared HTTP cache - a CDN or reverse proxy - to store a paid 200 response together with its Payment-Receipt header and replay both to clients that never paid, because the library's own Cache-Control: private is silently replaced when the mounting application sets its own cache directive on the same connection. An unauthenticated remote client that reaches such a cache can therefore obtain paid content and a valid receipt for free, and a related weaker case has a downstream non-2xx response still carrying a Payment-Receipt for a resource that was never delivered (CWE-524). …
