Unpaid order confirmation via forged PayPal callbacks
Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 3, 2026
PayPal callback forgery in J2Store 1.0.0 through 3.3.21, 4.0.0 through 4.0.21, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.6 allows remote attackers to alter orders. The _validateIPN() routine accepts unverified responses and its verdict is ignored; omitting mc_gross skips amount validation, while paypalv2.php never checks the amount. A public storefront with PayPal enabled and a configured receiver email permits anonymous requests to confirm unpaid orders or fail pending orders using an enumerated order ID.
