Description
WWBN AVideo 29.0 through 29.4.0 contains a race condition vulnerability in plugin/PayPalYPT/ipn.php that allows attackers to bypass IPN replay protection due to a non-atomic deduplication check and insert. Attackers can concurrently replay a captured valid recurring-payment notification so both requests pass isRecurringPaymentIdUsed(), obtaining duplicate wallet credits and subscription renewals.

AI Analysis

Impact

WWBN AVideo 29.0 through 29.4.0 exploits a race condition in the PayPalYPT plugin’s ipn.php. The non‑atomic deduplication check allows two concurrent PayPal IPN messages that share the same recurring‑payment ID to both pass the isRecurringPaymentIdUsed() test, giving the attacker duplicate wallet credits and repeated subscription renewals. This CWE‑367 race condition results in unauthorized financial benefits for the attacker and revenue loss for the victim.

Affected Systems

Vulnerable versions are WWBN AVideo 29.0 through 29.4.0. The issue is confined to the plugin/PayPalYPT/ipn.php component. No other products or later releases are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.0, indicating a moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector involves a remote attacker replaying a captured PayPal IPN request to the vulnerable endpoint. Exploitation requires only the ability to send HTTP POST requests to ipn.php, so the attack surface is high for an external adversary with network access. While no active exploitation is documented, the financial impact and reliance on PayPal’s fraud controls make this a non‑negligible risk for deployed systems.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check for vendor updates or patches that address the race condition.
  • Implement server‑side locking or atomic transaction logic to ensure only one IPN with a given recurring‑payment ID is processed at a time.
  • Add duplicate‑request monitoring by logging every recurring‑payment ID and flag any repeats for immediate review.
  • Restrict access to the ipn.php endpoint to PayPal’s IP addresses using web‑server configuration or a firewall rule.
