No affected components available
A discovered vulnerability allows users to modify their shopping cart after completing the PayPal Checkout process and payment authorization. If a user initiates a PayPal transaction from a product page or the cart page and then returns to the order summary page, they can still manipulate the cart contents before finalizing the order. As a result, the order amount in Sylius may be higher than the amount actually captured by PayPal, leading to a scenario where merchants deliver products or services without full payment.
Impact
- Users can exploit this flaw to receive products/services without paying the full amount.
- Merchants may suffer financial losses due to underpaid orders.
- Trust in the integrity of the payment process is compromised.
Patches
The issue is fixed in versions: 1.6.2, 1.7.2, 2.0.2 and above.
Workarounds
To resolve the problem in the end application without updating to the newest patches, there is a need to overwrite PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor with modified logic:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Processor;
use Sylius\Bundle\PayumBundle\Model\GatewayConfigInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\OrderInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\PaymentInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\PaymentMethodInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Manager\PaymentStateManagerInterface;
final class PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor
{
public function __construct(private readonly PaymentStateManagerInterface $paymentStateManager) {
}
public function completePayPalOrder(OrderInterface $order): void
{
$payment = $order->getLastPayment(PaymentInterface::STATE_PROCESSING);
if ($payment === null) {
return;
}
/** @var PaymentMethodInterface $paymentMethod */
$paymentMethod = $payment->getMethod();
/** @var GatewayConfigInterface $gatewayConfig */
$gatewayConfig = $paymentMethod->getGatewayConfig();
if ($gatewayConfig->getFactoryName() !== 'sylius.pay_pal') {
return;
}
try {
$this->verify($payment);
} catch (\Exception) {
$this->paymentStateManager->cancel($payment);
return;
}
$this->paymentStateManager->complete($payment);
}
private function verify(PaymentInterface $payment): void
{
$totalAmount = $this->getTotalPaymentAmountFromPaypal($payment);
if ($payment->getOrder()->getTotal() !== $totalAmount) {
throw new \Exception();
}
}
private function getTotalPaymentAmountFromPaypal(PaymentInterface $payment): int
{
$details = $payment->getDetails();
return $details['payment_amount'] ?? 0;
}
}
IMPORTANT
For PayPalPlugin 2.x change:
$gatewayConfig->getFactoryName() !== 'sylius.pay_pal'
to
$gatewayConfig->getFactoryName() !== SyliusPayPalExtension::PAYPAL_FACTORY_NAME
Also there is a need to overwrite CompletePayPalOrderListener with modified logic:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\EventListener\Workflow;
use App\Processor\PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\OrderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Workflow\Event\CompletedEvent;
use Webmozart\Assert\Assert;
final class CompletePayPalOrderListener
{
public function __construct(private readonly PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor $completeProcessor)
{
}
public function __invoke(CompletedEvent $event): void
{
/** @var OrderInterface $order */
$order = $event->getSubject();
Assert::isInstanceOf($order, OrderInterface::class);
$this->completeProcessor->completePayPalOrder($order);
}
}
And to overwrite CaptureAction with modified logic (if you didn't have it already):
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Payum\Action;
use Payum\Core\Action\ActionInterface;
use Payum\Core\Exception\RequestNotSupportedException;
use Payum\Core\Request\Capture;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\PaymentInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\PaymentMethodInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Api\CacheAuthorizeClientApiInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Api\CreateOrderApiInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Payum\Action\StatusAction;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Provider\UuidProviderInterface;
final class CaptureAction implements ActionInterface
{
public function __construct(
private CacheAuthorizeClientApiInterface $authorizeClientApi,
private CreateOrderApiInterface $createOrderApi,
private UuidProviderInterface $uuidProvider,
) {
}
/** @param Capture $request */
public function execute($request): void
{
RequestNotSupportedException::assertSupports($this, $request);
/** @var PaymentInterface $payment */
$payment = $request->getModel();
/** @var PaymentMethodInterface $paymentMethod */
$paymentMethod = $payment->getMethod();
$token = $this->authorizeClientApi->authorize($paymentMethod);
$referenceId = $this->uuidProvider->provide();
$content = $this->createOrderApi->create($token, $payment, $referenceId);
if ($content['status'] === 'CREATED') {
$payment->setDetails([
'status' => StatusAction::STATUS_CAPTURED,
'paypal_order_id' => $content['id'],
'reference_id' => $referenceId,
'payment_amount' => $payment->getAmount(),
]);
}
}
public function supports($request): bool
{
return
$request instanceof Capture &&
$request->getModel() instanceof PaymentInterface
;
}
}
After that, register services in the container when using PayPal 1.x:
Sylius\PayPalPlugin\EventListener\Workflow\CompletePayPalOrderListener:
class: App\EventListener\Workflow\CompletePayPalOrderListener
public: true
arguments:
- '@Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Processor\PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor'
tags:
- { name: 'kernel.event_listener', event: 'workflow.sylius_order_checkout.completed.complete', priority: 100 }
Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Processor\PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor:
class: App\Processor\PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor
public: true
arguments:
- '@Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Manager\PaymentStateManagerInterface'
Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Payum\Action\CaptureAction:
class: App\Payum\Action\CaptureAction
public: true
arguments:
- '@Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Api\CacheAuthorizeClientApiInterface'
- '@Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Api\CreateOrderApiInterface'
- '@Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Provider\UuidProviderInterface'
tags:
- { name: 'payum.action', factory: 'sylius.pay_pal', alias: 'payum.action.capture' }
or when using PayPal 2.x:
sylius_paypal.listener.workflow.complete_paypal_order:
class: App\EventListener\Workflow\CompletePayPalOrderListener
public: true
arguments:
- '@sylius_paypal.processor.paypal_order_complete'
tags:
- { name: 'kernel.event_listener', event: 'workflow.sylius_order_checkout.completed.complete', priority: 100 }
sylius_paypal.processor.paypal_order_complete:
class: App\Processor\PayPalOrderCompleteProcessor
public: true
arguments:
- '@sylius_paypal.manager.payment_state'
sylius_paypal.payum.action.capture:
class: App\Payum\Action\CaptureAction
public: true
arguments:
- '@sylius_paypal.api.cache_authorize_client'
- '@sylius_paypal.api.create_order'
- '@sylius_paypal.provider.uuid'
tags:
- { name: 'payum.action', factory: 'sylius.paypal', alias: 'payum.action.capture' }
