Official description
Shopper is a Headless e-commerce Admin Panel. Prior to 2.8.0, Multiple Filament actions on the admin Order detail and Order shipments table were callable by an authenticated low-privilege user without the permission required to mutate orders. The order detail actions cancel, mark paid, mark complete, capture payment, archive, and start processing were callable with the read-only read_orders permission and did not require edit_orders. capturePayment could trigger an actual PSP capture (real funds movement). The order shipments table actions mark delivered and edit tracking were callable with the read-only browse_orders permission. A user with read access to orders could therefore alter the lifecycle of every order in the panel and trigger real-world payment captures. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.0.

The underlying weakness: Improper Authorization
The product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries. Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
- Ensure that you perform access control checks related to your business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that you apply to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature.
