Hackers could have stolen PayPal funds from Meetup users

Meetup is a service that enables users to create in-person or virtual events. For organizers outside the U.S., the platform offers PayPal support to charge attendees for a paid event. Researchers from Checkmarx describe a stored XSS vulnerability that allowed a regular group member to have the same permissions as an organizer. A second high-severity flaw, with a score of 8.1 out of 10, could be exploited in combination with a CSRF vulnerability to change a user s PayPal address in the Meetup profile.
