Affected packages

• npm paypal-ipn: < 3.0.0 → fixed in 3.0.0

Description

Versions 2.x.x and earlier of `paypal-ipn` are affected by a validation bypass vulnerability. paypal-ipn uses the `test_ipn` parameter (which is set by the PayPal IPN simulator) to determine if it should use the production PayPal site or the sandbox. A motivated attacker could craft a request string using the simulator to fool the application into entering the sandbox mode, potentially allowing purchases without valid payment. Recommendation Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later.
