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 :

  1. Go to https://www.wnmlive.com/account/points
  2. Select "Get more points"
  3. 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.
