DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the s2Member plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass
certain security restrictions.

Input passed to the "s2_invoice" parameter within payment URLs is not
properly verified before being used to grant access to products when
using custom capabilities. This can be exploited to access arbitrary
products by supplying certain capabilities.

The following payment gateways are reportedly affected:
* ccBill® Buttons
* ClickBank® Buttons
* Google® Checkout Buttons
* PayPal® Buttons with disabled "Button Encryption"

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 111206.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 111206. Enable "Button Encryption" within the
"Account Details" of the "PayPal Options" in case "PayPal® Buttons"
are used.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Pedja within a s2Member plugin forum post.
