## Technical details

The vulnerability is a business logic error (CWE-602) where the server trusts client-submitted price and title values from hidden form fields in order.php instead of re-validating them against the database. An unauthenticated attacker can intercept the form submission, modify the hidden price field, and the server will process the order with the tampered amount. The attack requires no authentication and can be performed remotely over the network.
