How it was found
An attacker can gain access to any user's email address by accessing the /points/buy page. This is a serious issue because the email address is used as one of the login credentials for the website.
Steps to reproduce :
- Go to https://www.wnmlive.com/account/points
- Select "Get more points"
- You should now be at https://www.wnmlive.com/points/buy/ [YOUR PID]
- Change the PID portion for the PID of any other user.
- You now see the email address of that user.
This is the PID of my test account : Cqx3vGgl4RD3NNIBqeJtrg. You will see the email [email protected] instead of your own email account.
The best solution would be to use the UID stored in the cookie files rather than using the PID in the URL.
