SCA: security update for paymenter/paymenter (GHSA-rv89-wch8-c574)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443768

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Paymenter is a free and open-source webshop solution for management of hosting services. In versions prior
to 1.5.0, the email update functionality fails to invalidate the existing verification state when a user
changes their email address, allowing a verified account to retain its verified status after switching to
an unverified or unowned email address. When a user updated their email address, the system did not reset
or revalidate the associated email verification status. As a result, the verification column remained set
to “true” even after the email address was changed. Exploitation could potentially result in:
misrepresentation of email ownership, bypass of verification-based trust assumptions, and abuse of
features gated behind verified status. No direct unauthorized access to other users accounts or data is
possible through this issue alone. This issue has been fixed in version 1.5.0. (CVE-2026-44584)

Solution

Update the paymenter/paymenter library and its related packages to version 1.5.0 or later.
