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.
