Unauthenticated payment bypass via pending subscription status
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
Payment verification bypass in Strategy11 Formidable Forms before 6.32.1 allows remote attackers to trigger paid actions without payment. The PayPal subscription path treats APPROVAL_PENDING as paid, skips the amount check, completes the payment record, and fires success actions. Exploitation requires a public recurring PayPal form with PayPal Commerce connected; an exposed visitor nonce reaches unauthenticated AJAX handlers.
