Summary
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions prior to 29.0, the Authorize.Net webhook handler at plugin/AuthorizeNet/webhook.php contains a signature verification bypass that allows an attacker to forge webhook requests with arbitrary payment amounts and target user IDs. By supplying a valid transaction ID from a small legitimate purchase, the attacker bypasses signature validation and credits arbitrary wallet balances to any user account via attacker-controlled payload fields. Three flaws combine into an exploit chain: signature bypass via OR logic (webhook.php:33), payload values override API-fetched values (AuthorizeNet.php:169-171, webhook.php:44-48) and a missing approval check (webhook.php:61-75). By forging payment metadata, an attacker can credit arbitrary amounts to any user's wallet without a corresponding payment and include a plans_id to activate premium subscriptions (webhook.php:86-134), enabling free access to all paid and premium content and causing direct revenue loss to the platform owner. This issue has been fixed in version 29.0.
