## Technical details

The TradePaymentService.pendingRefund method in PublicCMS 5 fails to properly validate or authorize the userId parameter, allowing an authenticated or remote attacker to bypass authorization checks by manipulating this argument. This enables unauthorized access to refund operations and potentially other payment-related transactions. The issue was remediated by removing the vulnerable web trade payment controller starting with the 202608 series.
