GHSA-5q4q-834j-g8g4: Paymenter has URL parameter injection that bypasses paid plan limits at checkout

Description

Paymenter before version 1.5.1 contains a vulnerability in its checkout component that allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary URL parameters. These parameters bypass validation and are stored without sanitation, enabling users to override server provisioning settings such as resource limits and package tiers without administrative privileges. This is a business logic flaw affecting the server provisioning process.

Technical Analysis

The Paymenter checkout component improperly filters URL-writable properties, exposing the $checkoutConfig property to URL query parameters. Validation is only applied to keys explicitly defined by extensions, allowing undefined keys to bypass validation. These unchecked keys are stored directly in the database and later used during server provisioning, where user-supplied values override administrator-defined configurations. This flaw enables authenticated users to manipulate server resource limits and hosting plans at checkout without special privileges.

Potential Impact

Authenticated users can remotely manipulate server provisioning parameters, overriding core resource limits such as CPU, RAM, storage, or package tiers. This can lead to unauthorized resource allocation and potential abuse of hosting services. No administrative privileges are required to exploit this vulnerability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the checkout component to trusted users and monitor for unusual provisioning activity. Review and harden validation and sanitation of URL parameters in the checkout process to prevent injection of arbitrary keys.
