Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

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:

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

<?php

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,

    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);

    private function getStateMachine(): StateMachineInterface

    {
        $details = $payment->getDetails();

        return $details['payment_amount'] ?? 0;
    }
}

And to overwrite CaptureAction with modified logic:

<?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\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
        ;
    }
}

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for sylius/paypal-plugin. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update sylius/paypal-plugin to 1.6.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pqq3-q84h-pj6x is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-pqq3-q84h-pj6x is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-pqq3-q84h-pj6x. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.

O3 Security · Impact-Aware SCA

Is GHSA-pqq3-q84h-pj6x in your dependencies?

O3 detects GHSA-pqq3-q84h-pj6x across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
