GHSA-8x4m-qw58-3pcx
mppx has multiple payment bypass and griefing vulnerabilities
Impact
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in tempo/charge and tempo/session which allowed for undesirable behaviors, including:
- Replaying
tempo/chargetransaction hashes across push/pull modes, across charge/session endpoints, and via concurrent requests - Performing free
tempo/chargerequests due to missing transfer log verification in pull-mode - Replaying
tempo/chargecredentials across routes via cross-route scope confusion (memo/splitsnot included in scope binding) - Manipulating the fee payer of a
tempo/chargehandler into paying for requests (missing sender signature before co-signing) - Bypassing
tempo/sessionvoucher signature verification - Piggybacking off existing
tempo/sessionchannels via settle voucher reuse and weak channel ID binding - Performing free
tempo/sessionrequests by exploiting channel reopen without on-chain settled state - Accepting deductions on finalized
tempo/sessionchannels - Bypassing payment on free routes via method-mismatch fallback
- Griefing
tempo/sessionchannels via force-close detection bypass (closeRequestedAtnot persisted)
Patches
Fixed in 0.4.8.
