Summary

OpenCart through 4.1.0.4 lets logged-in customers place unpaid full-price orders because the checkout workflow does not enforce payment. After selecting Free Checkout, a customer can clear reward points and submit the order, so the confirm handler advances it to Free Checkout status without payment (CWE-841). An authenticated customer with low privileges can exploit this remotely with high attack complexity.

Description from the CNA

OpenCart through 4.1.0.4 contains a business logic vulnerability that allows logged-in customers to place unpaid full-price orders by clearing reward points after selecting Free Checkout. Attackers can apply points, save Free Checkout, then submit zero points via reward.save so the confirm handler advances the order to Free Checkout status without payment.
