Sylius PayPal Plugin Payment Amount Manipulation Vulnerability

Veröffentlicht: 17.03.2025
Aktualisiert: 11.10.2026 10:22

A vulnerability allows users to manipulate the final payment amount processed by PayPal. If a user modifies the item quantity in their shopping cart after initiating the PayPal Checkout process, PayPal will not receive the updated total amount. As a result, PayPal captures only the initially transmitted amount, while Sylius incorrectly considers the order fully paid based on the modified total. This flaw can be exploited both accidentally and intentionally, potentially enabling fraud by allowing customers to pay less than the actual order value.

Impact

Attackers can intentionally pay less than the actual total order amount.
Business owners may suffer financial losses due to underpaid orders.
Integrity of payment processing is compromised.

Patches

The issue is fixed in versions: 1.6.1, 1.7.1, 2.0.1 and above.

Workarounds

To resolve the problem in the end application without updating to the newest patches, there is a need to overwrite ProcessPayPalOrderAction with modified logic:

        $order->setBillingAddress(clone $address);

        $this->getStateMachine()->apply($order, OrderCheckoutTransitions::GRAPH, OrderCheckoutTransitions::TRANSITION_SELECT_PAYMENT);

        $this->orderManager->flush();

        try {
            $this->verify($payment, $data);
        } catch (\Exception) {
            $this->paymentStateManager->cancel($payment);

            return new JsonResponse(['orderID' => $order->getId()]);
        }

        $this->paymentStateManager->create($payment);
        $this->paymentStateManager->process($payment);

        return new JsonResponse(['orderID' => $order->getId()]);
    }

    private function getOrderCustomer(array $customerData): CustomerInterface
    {
        /** @var CustomerInterface|null $existingCustomer */
        $existingCustomer = $this->customerRepository->findOneBy(['email' => $customerData['email_address']]);
        if ($existingCustomer !== null) {

        return $this->orderDetailsApi->get($token, $id);
    }

    private function getStateMachine(): StateMachineInterface

        }

        return $this->stateMachineFactory;
    }

    private function verify(PaymentInterface $payment, array $paypalOrderDetails): void
    {
        $totalAmount = $this->getTotalPaymentAmountFromPaypal($paypalOrderDetails);

        if ($payment->getAmount() !== $totalAmount) {
            throw new \Exception();
        }
    }

    private function getTotalPaymentAmountFromPaypal(array $paypalOrderDetails): int
    {
        if (!isset($paypalOrderDetails['purchase_units']) || !is_array($paypalOrderDetails['purchase_units'])) {

            $stringAmount = $unit['amount']['value'] ?? '0';

            $totalAmount += (int) ($stringAmount * 100);
        }

        return $totalAmount;
    }
}

Also there is a need to overwrite CompletePayPalOrderFromPaymentPageAction with modified logic:

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Controller;

use Doctrine\Persistence\ObjectManager;
use SM\Factory\FactoryInterface;
use Sylius\Abstraction\StateMachine\StateMachineInterface;
use Sylius\Abstraction\StateMachine\WinzouStateMachineAdapter;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\PaymentInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\OrderCheckoutTransitions;
use Sylius\Component\Order\Processor\OrderProcessorInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Exception\PaymentAmountMismatchException;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Manager\PaymentStateManagerInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Provider\OrderProviderInterface;
use Sylius\PayPalPlugin\Verifier\PaymentAmountVerifierInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface;

final class CompletePayPalOrderFromPaymentPageAction
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly PaymentStateManagerInterface $paymentStateManager,
        private readonly UrlGeneratorInterface $router,
        private readonly OrderProviderInterface $orderProvider,
        private readonly FactoryInterface|StateMachineInterface $stateMachine,
        private readonly ObjectManager $orderManager,
        private readonly OrderProcessorInterface $orderProcessor,
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(Request $request): Response
    {
        $orderId = $request->attributes->getInt('id');

        $order = $this->orderProvider->provideOrderById($orderId);
        /** @var PaymentInterface $payment */
        $payment = $order->getLastPayment(PaymentInterface::STATE_PROCESSING);

        try {
            $this->verify($payment);
        } catch (\Exception) {
            $this->paymentStateManager->cancel($payment);
            $order->removePayment($payment);

            $this->orderProcessor->process($order);

            return new JsonResponse([
                'return_url' => $this->router->generate('sylius_shop_checkout_complete', [], UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL),
            ]);
        }

        $this->paymentStateManager->complete($payment);

        $this->getStateMachine()->apply($order, OrderCheckoutTransitions::GRAPH, OrderCheckoutTransitions::TRANSITION_SELECT_PAYMENT);
        $this->getStateMachine()->apply($order, OrderCheckoutTransitions::GRAPH, OrderCheckoutTransitions::TRANSITION_COMPLETE);

        $this->orderManager->flush();

        $request->getSession()->set('sylius_order_id', $order->getId());

        return new JsonResponse([
            'return_url' => $this->router->generate('sylius_shop_order_thank_you', [], UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL),
        ]);
    }

    private function getStateMachine(): StateMachineInterface
    {
        if ($this->stateMachine instanceof FactoryInterface) {
            return new WinzouStateMachineAdapter($this->stateMachine);
        }

        return $this->stateMachine;
    }

    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;
    }
}

And to overwrite CaptureAction with modified logic:

php

<?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:
