How it was found
Currency fluctuate all the time. Theses days EUR / USD key pair is around 1for1. It was even 1:0.99 when I was writing this report. Portswigger doesn't change dynamically the price and exchange rate dynamically.
Vulnerability at the following link: https://portswigger.net/buy/pro
When you want to buy a product choose the currency, you can noticed they are fixed and with today difference it's quite a big difference.
Impact
USD price is 399$USD, while EUR price is 349$. Therefore someone could just change the price to Euro and pay 347 $USD (349 Euro) instead of 399$(with current rate).
PS: It scale with the price, it could lead to thousands of dollars lost for your company.
