Unauthenticated price manipulation via client-supplied order amount
Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026
Improper input validation in Noor Alam Payment Button for PayPal 1.2.3.44 and earlier allows remote attackers to create underpriced PayPal orders. The checkout order-creation path forwards the client-supplied amount to PayPal without comparing it with the merchant-configured product price. No account is required; successful abuse creates a real transaction at the attacker's chosen lower amount, causing payment integrity loss rather than data disclosure or service interruption.
