CVE-2026-53638

Sylius: Channel-based payment method restriction bypass on shop account orders API endpoint

Impact

An authorization bypass vulnerability exists in the shop account API. The PATCH /api/v2/shop/account/orders/{tokenValue}/payments/{paymentId} endpoint, used by an authenticated shop customer to change the payment method of an order that has been placed but not yet paid (state STATE_NEW), does not validate that the chosen payment method is enabled for the order's channel. The equivalent checkout endpoint (PATCH /api/v2/shop/orders/{tokenValue}/payments/{paymentId}) correctly rejects out-of-channel payment methods with HTTP 422; the account endpoint silently accepts them and returns HTTP 200.

An authenticated customer can therefore assign any globally enabled payment method to their own placed order, including methods that the store operator has explicitly excluded from that channel.

Patches

The issue is fixed in versions: 2.0.18, 2.1.15, 2.2.6 and above.

Workarounds

If users cannot bump Sylius right now, decorate the Sylius\Bundle\ApiBundle\Changer\PaymentMethodChangerInterface service in their applications.

Step 1. Create the decorator

src/Decorator/ChannelCheckingPaymentMethodChanger.php:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Decorator;
use ApiPlatform\Validator\Exception\ValidationException;
use Sylius\Bundle\ApiBundle\Changer\PaymentMethodChangerInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\OrderInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Model\PaymentMethodInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Repository\PaymentMethodRepositoryInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Core\Repository\PaymentRepositoryInterface;
use Sylius\Component\Payment\Resolver\PaymentMethodsResolverInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintViolation;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintViolationList;
use Symfony\Contracts\Translation\TranslatorInterface;
final readonly class ChannelCheckingPaymentMethodChanger implements PaymentMethodChangerInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private PaymentMethodChangerInterface $decorated,
        private PaymentRepositoryInterface $paymentRepository,
        private PaymentMethodRepositoryInterface $paymentMethodRepository,
        private PaymentMethodsResolverInterface $paymentMethodsResolver,
        private TranslatorInterface $translator,
    ) {
    }
    public function changePaymentMethod(string $paymentMethodCode, mixed $paymentId, OrderInterface $order): OrderInterface
    {
        /** @var PaymentMethodInterface|null $paymentMethod */
        $paymentMethod = $this->paymentMethodRepository->findOneBy(['code' => $paymentMethodCode]);
        $payment = $this->paymentRepository->findOneByOrderId($paymentId, $order->getId());
        if (
            $paymentMethod !== null
            && $payment !== null
            && !in_array($paymentMethod, $this->paymentMethodsResolver->getSupportedMethods($payment), true)
        ) {
            $template = 'sylius.payment_method.not_available';
            $parameters = ['%name%' => (string) $paymentMethod->getName()];
            throw new ValidationException(new ConstraintViolationList([
                new ConstraintViolation(
                    message: $this->translator->trans($template, $parameters, 'validators'),
                    messageTemplate: $template,
                    parameters: $parameters,
                    root: $paymentMethodCode,
                    propertyPath: '',
                    invalidValue: $paymentMethodCode,
                ),
            ]));
        }
        return $this->decorated->changePaymentMethod($paymentMethodCode, $paymentId, $order);
    }
}

Step 2. Register the decorator

config/services.yaml (append to the application's existing services: block):

services:
    App\Decorator\ChannelCheckingPaymentMethodChanger:
        decorates: sylius_api.changer.payment_method
        arguments:
'@.inner'
'@sylius.repository.payment'
'@sylius.repository.payment_method'
'@sylius.resolver.payment_methods'
'@translator'

@.inner references the original PaymentMethodChangerInterface implementation, so any future Sylius change to the changer keeps working through the decorator.

Step 3. Clear the cache

bin/console cache:clear
