CVE-2026-47696NVD

Vulnerability Summary

### Summary

`plugin/AuthorizeNet/processPayment.json.php` credits the logged-in user's wallet based only on the attacker-controlled `amount` POST parameter.

The endpoint contains a TODO for real Authorize.Net charging, hardcodes `$paymentSuccess = true`, and then calls `YPTWallet::addBalance()` without validating
any Authorize.Net transaction, webhook signature, hosted payment token, nonce, or server-side payment record.

This allows any logged-in user to add arbitrary funds to their own AVideo wallet when the `AuthorizeNet` and `YPTWallet` plugins are enabled.

### Details

Affected file:

`plugin/AuthorizeNet/processPayment.json.php`

Relevant code:

```php
$amount = isset($_POST['amount']) ? floatval($_POST['amount']) : 0;
$userData = isset($_POST['userData']) ? $_POST['userData'] : [];

if ($amount <= 0) {
echo json_encode(['error' => 'Invalid amount']);
exit;
}

// TODO: Implement payment logic using Authorize.Net API
// Example: Call Authorize.Net API here
// $result = $plugin->chargePayment($amount, $userData);

// Simulate payment success for now
$paymentSuccess = true;
$users_id = @User::getId();

if ($paymentSuccess && !empty($users_id)) {
$walletPlugin = AVideoPlugin::loadPluginIfEnabled("YPTWallet");
if ($walletPlugin) {
$walletPlugin->addBalance($users_id, $amount, 'Authorize.Net one-time payment');
echo json_encode(['success' => true, 'result' => 'Payment processed and wallet updated']);
exit;
}
}
```
Vulnerable flow:

1. `$_POST['amount']` is read from the client.
2. The endpoint only checks that the amount is greater than zero.
3. The real Authorize.Net charge is not performed.
4. `$paymentSuccess` is hardcoded to true.
5. The logged-in user's wallet is credited with the client-supplied amount.

There is no verification of:

- Authorize.Net transaction ID
- payment token
- webhook signature
- pending payment record
- expected server-side amount
- currency
- duplicate transaction/replay state

### PoC

Prerequisites:

- AVideo with AuthorizeNet plugin enabled
- YPTWallet plugin enabled
- Attacker has any valid user account

Steps:

1. Log in as a low-privileged user.
2. Open the wallet page and record the current balance.
3. Send the following request with the user's authenticated session cookie:
```
curl -i -s -b 'PHPSESSID=<user_session>' \
-X POST 'https://target.example/plugin/AuthorizeNet/processPayment.json.php' \
--data 'amount=9999&userData[note]=poc'
```
4. The endpoint returns:
```
{"success":true,"result":"Payment processed and wallet updated"}
```
5. Refresh the wallet page.
6. The wallet balance is increased by 9999.

No Authorize.Net hosted payment page, card payment, transaction confirmation, webhook, or server-side payment validation is required.

### Impact

A normal authenticated user can mint arbitrary wallet balance.

Depending on the target site's configuration, this may allow the attacker to:

- purchase paid videos or subscriptions without payment
- abuse any feature backed by YPTWallet
- transfer fake funds to other users
- manipulate accounting or payout-related workflows
- bypass monetization controls

### Recommended fix

- Remove or disable `processPayment.json.php` if it is obsolete.
- Never credit wallet balance from client-supplied `amount` alone.
- Use the existing Authorize.Net hosted token / webhook / transaction reconciliation flow.
- Require a verified Authorize.Net transaction ID and server-side amount lookup before calling `addBalance()`.
- Add regression tests proving arbitrary POSTs cannot credit a wallet.
