Description
Impact
CreateOrderFromCartAction::execute previously created the Order row before checking and incrementing the discount's total_use counter. Under concurrent checkout pressure (Black Friday, flash sale, viral coupon), the global usage_limit was silently exceeded: orders were committed with the discount fully applied to price_amount while the counter blocked at usage_limit. The merchant had no signal that an over-redemption had occurred.
A second related bug: usage_limit_per_user was effectively a no-op because the counter it relied on (DiscountDetail.total_use) was never incremented anywhere in the codebase. The per-user check therefore always saw 0 uses and validation passed regardless of how many times the same customer had previously redeemed the coupon. For eligibility = Everyone the per-user limit could not fire at all because the underlying DiscountDetail row only exists for eligibility = Customers.
Direct financial loss: each over-redemption is a discount the merchant did not intend to grant.
Patches
Fixed in v2.8.0. CreateOrderFromCartAction now:
- Reserves the discount slot atomically before the order row is created, inside the same
DB::transactionwithlockForUpdateand a compare-and-swap ontotal_use. - Throws
DiscountLimitReachedException::globaland rolls back the transaction when the global limit was exhausted between cart validation and commit. No order is committed. - Throws
DiscountLimitReachedException::perUserand rolls back when the discount is restricted to one use per customer and the customer has already redeemed it. - Snapshots
discount_id,discount_code,discount_type,discount_value_at_applyanddiscount_currency_codeonto theorderstable for resilience against later discount edits or deletions.
DiscountValidator was updated to perform the same Order-based per-user check at cart-apply time so the rejection is surfaced before checkout.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for shopper/cart, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update shopper/cart to 2.8.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-47741 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
