Discussion

eBay Payflow SDK SSL Certificate Validation Security Bypass Vulnerability

Payflow SDK is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate SSL certificates from the server.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers, which will aid in further attacks.
