Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
.cens has reported two security issues in PHP Toolkit for PayPal, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and disclose sensitive information.

1) The problem is that payment information is stored insecurely in log files in the "logs" directory inside the web root. This can be exploited to disclose certain transaction data.

2) The problem is that the "ipn_success.php" script does not properly verify the origin of payment information. This can be exploited to write a successful payment to the "logs/ipn_success.txt" log file even when no payment via PayPal has occurred.

The security issues have been reported in version 0.50. Prior versions may also be affected.
