Upstream source description

The Restaurant Menu and Food Ordering WordPress plugin before 2.4.12 does not verify that a PayPal payment notification genuinely originates from PayPal, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge a payment notification and mark their own order as paid and completed without making any payment.
