Summary
The CamPay Shortcode Payment Gateway WordPress plugin before 1.7 does not verify the authenticity of Mobile Money payment confirmations (CWE-862). It derives the payment result from client-supplied parameters, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can mark payment records as paid, delete genuine payment records and write plugin metadata onto arbitrary posts. A public exploit is linked in the references.
