Details:
========
A auth bypass web session vulnerability is detected  in Paypals Billsafe online payment service web application.
The vulnerability typus allows an attacker to bypass the first login user session auth and change passwords and 
emails of billsafe web application accounts. 

The application is processing to request after a account activation plain passwords without any kind of token 
protection mechanism. The vulnerability is located in the first login section of the billsafe website when 
processing to load (after the activation) manipulated user/email/pass context. Remote attackers can manipulate 
accounts by live tampering the activation session link request. When the remote attacker is tampering the session 
live, he only needs to exchange the plain requested values (name/email/pass) with the earlier valid requested values.
After changing the vulnerable values the attacker only needs to send the same request again to reset 
any billsafe client application account.

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires no privileged application user account and no user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in account compromise, account manipulation and account theaft.
