Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Payload, a free and open source headless content management system. It specifically impacts the @payloadcms/plugin-stripe plugin versions before 3.90.0 and canary versions before 4.0.0-canary.34. An authenticated user with access to the enabled optional Stripe REST proxy can perform unintended Stripe operations.

Detection Guidance

Check installed versions of @payloadcms/plugin-stripe. If using versions before 3.90.0 or 4.0.0-canary.34, the system is vulnerable. Inspect network traffic for unauthorized Stripe API calls from the REST proxy endpoint.

Impact Analysis

If you use the affected versions of the @payloadcms/plugin-stripe plugin, an attacker with authenticated access could misuse the Stripe REST proxy to perform unauthorized transactions or operations through your Stripe account.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows authenticated users to perform unintended Stripe operations, which could lead to unauthorized transactions or data exposure. For GDPR, this may impact data integrity and confidentiality. For HIPAA, unauthorized transactions could compromise protected health information integrity.

Mitigation Strategies

Update @payloadcms/plugin-stripe to version 3.90.0 or later for stable releases, or to version 4.0.0-canary.34 or later for canary releases. This addresses the authenticated user access issue in the Stripe REST proxy.
