Craft Commerce: User Can Make Partial Payments Without Minimum Amount

published 4 months ago
Summary

A user can submit a payment amount of $0 or a negative value, potentially marking orders as paid without a valid transaction. This can happen on stores that allow partial payments on checkout. To fix this, the payment amount should be checked to ensure it's a positive number.

What to do
  • Update craftcms commerce to version 5.6.5.
  • Update craftcms commerce to version 4.11.2.
Affected software
Ecosystem VendorProductAffected versions
composer craftcms commerce >= 5.0.0, <= 5.6.4
>= 4.0.0, <= 4.11.1
Fix: upgrade to 5.6.5

Craft Commerce: Partial Payment Amount Without Lower Bound Validation
### Summary

The `Order::setPaymentAmount()` method accepts any float value without enforcing a minimum positive amount. The PaymentsController casts the user-supplied 'paymentAmount' parameter directly to float with no lower-bound check.

### Details

When the store has 'Allow Partial Payment on Checkout' enabled, a user can submit a payment amount of $0.00 or even a negative value, potentially marking orders as paid without a valid transaction.

### Impact
On stores with partial payment enabled, a customer may be able to set an arbitrarily small payment amount. Gateway behavior varies — some will process $0.00 transactions, effectively giving free order fulfillment.
