Summary
The Order Tracking WordPress plugin before 3.6.0 does not verify that PayPal payment notifications were sent to the merchant's account or that their amounts match the order total (CWE-345). An unauthenticated remote attacker can mark arbitrary orders as paid by making a trivial payment to their own PayPal account. An exploit link is listed in the references.

Description from the CNA
The Order Tracking WordPress plugin before 3.6.0 does not verify that a PayPal payment notification was sent to the merchant's account, or that its amount matches the order total, before marking an order as paid, which could allow unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary orders as paid using a trivial payment to their own PayPal account.
