Vulnerability Overview

The Leaky Paywall plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to price manipulation in all versions up to, and including, 4.20.8. This is due to the plugin allowing the price field to be user supplied. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to alter the price of memberships.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.20.9, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) The web application does not sufficiently verify inputs that are assumed to be immutable but are actually externally controllable, such as hidden form fields.
