Payment-data theft via unvalidated subscription-page certificate
Published Sep 19, 2023 · Updated Sep 25, 2024
Improper certificate validation in MiniTool Power Data Recovery 11.6 and earlier allows man-in-the-middle attackers to steal payment data. The built-in subscription view renders the MiniTool payment page without rejecting an untrusted server certificate, so a forged page can receive submitted payment details. Exploitation requires interception of traffic to www.minitool.com while the subscription view is used; the published demonstration shows payment-data theft, not code execution or service interruption.
