Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-08 15:31 – Updated: 2026-09-09 03:30

Details

XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a payment replay vulnerability in the PayPal REST payment provider that allows attackers to process the same webhook payload multiple times by exploiting a missing duplicate transaction ID check. Attackers can replay a valid webhook payload to trigger duplicate payment events, resulting in repeated subscription activations and unauthorized account upgrades.

Severity

7.5 (High)

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
