Description
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
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:
```php
$gatewayConfig->getFactoryName() !== 'sylius.pay_pal'
```
to
```php
$gatewayConfig->getFactoryName() !== SyliusPayPalExtension::PAYPAL_FACTORY_NAME
```
Also there is a need to overwrite `CompletePayPalOrderListener` with modified logic:
```php
getSubject();
Assert::isInstanceOf($order, OrderInterface::class);
$this->completeProcessor->completePayPalOrder($order);
}
}
```
And to overwrite `CaptureAction` with modified logic (if you didn't have it already):
```php
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:
```yaml
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:
```yaml
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' }
```
