Summary
The myCred WordPress plugin before 3.2.5 does not verify that the receiver of an incoming payment gateway notification matches the site's configured merchant account, allowing unauthenticated attackers to have arbitrary amounts of the site's in-site currency credited to an account by completing a payment for the expected amount to a gateway account they control rather than the site's.
