Insufficient verification of lifetime-deal redemption codes allows forgery of permanent paid subscriptions

An issue in the billing and license activation subsystem allows remote attackers to bypass payment authorization workflows. By exploiting insufficient cryptographic validation or lack of server-side state verification on promotional/lifetime-deal (LTD) redemption codes, an unauthenticated attacker can forge valid redemption tokens or replay existing single-use codes to activate permanent, tier-highest paid subscriptions without a financial transaction.
