GetPaid payment bypass via fractional quantity (CVE-2026-123668)
cve.now entry.
Eden terminates the HTTP connection to the affected product, evaluates a declarative policy and — in tier 2 — a separately compiled native Rust module under signed module authority, before any byte reaches the application. It does not patch the affected component; the vendor's fixed release remains the durable repair.
Status: live two-tier remediation recorded 2026-11-11 on the installed eden-product-release:1.103.0-single lab container (image sha256:809293e1f0b525ac04698d1fa8d7ffdc66cbee1ff690b082ba26b4d050f08416).
The vulnerability
GetPaid 2.8.63-2.8.64 allows unauthenticated payment bypass via fractional item quantities.
The Eden patch
Tier 1 — declarative policy (blunt, fail-closed): deny on the affected
route family — takes the whole surface offline, legitimate calls included.
Tier 2 — native module: gabriel_getpaid_v1, binary SHA-256 a2f85f123b12284dd73012708cd1a0982724bec07352c009c46dc44f8681b0b6
(source d00c353aae8d64a978c2fadbff0ba15b66d273f8b49f9d988353be900dbd0090) — refuse fractional quantity values on payment APIs.
Measured comparison (live, 2026-11-11)
| Probe | Baseline (unprotected) | Tier 1 | Tier 2 (module) |
|---|---|---|---|
| benign_payment | 200 | 403 | 200 |
| attack_fractional | 200 (payment_bypassed ×1) | 403 | 403 |
Performance trace (Eden telemetry, live 2026-11-11)
Measured with Eden's built-in request telemetry (gateway.request.baseline
spans, read back through /api/v1/analytics/telemetry?signal=traces), not
client wall-clock. Latency Eden introduces per remediation arm for this case:
| Arm | n | mean | p50 | p95 | min–max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — declarative policy, blocked request (403) | 15 | 22 µs | 21 µs | 48 µs | 14 µs–48 µs |
| Tier 2 — native module, benign passes through (200) | 23 | 384 µs | 355 µs | 507 µs | 315 µs–643 µs |
| Tier 2 — native module, attack refused (403) | 14 | 137 µs | 130 µs | 201 µs | 110 µs–201 µs |
Eden-added latency for the tier-2 remediation: benign requests complete in 384 µs mean (p50 355 µs, p95 507 µs) in-product, module evaluation included. Honest scope: lab fixtures on one host, fresh connection per measured request, warm requests only; module reactivated shards 2/2 with a fresh signed statement per measurement; spans carry the full authority lineage (module SHA-256, operation, publication). Not the EDEN-3640 performance qualification contract.
Tested against: eden-product-release:1.103.0-single (image sha256:809293e1f0b525ac…, build target
eden_service_single, tooling revision 81a0724a…). Raw data:
module2/telemetry-ab/getpaid-telemetry.json and module2/tier1-ab/getpaid-tier1.json.
Authority lifecycle and negatives
Driven through the full signed lifecycle (module2/evidence/getpaid-module.json):
enroll_key (Ed25519 public key), independent-host inventory, inspect, host
approve, signed admit (prepared), activate — receipt
serving_now: true, applied_shards == expected_shards (2/2).
Negatives held: read-only inspect -> 403, tampered statement binding -> 400,
flipped signature bit -> 403. revoke failed the interlay closed (503,
nothing forwarded, zero backend effects); a fresh host approval plus a newly
signed activation restored the module.
Honest scope
The fixture replicates the delivery shape with harmless marker effects; no real vendor component runs here. Bypass variants (encodings, alternate routes, other crafted members) are not bypass-tested and are out of scope; the rule is a lab-grade partial by construction. The vendor's fixed release remains the durable repair.

The recorded attack_fractional request returned 200 at baseline and 403 with the native module active. The case examines GetPaid payment bypass via fractional quantity using an Eden gateway and a purpose-built fixture; it did not run the vendor application.
Decision flow
The diagram sketches the available source’s content decision after input metadata is available. Continue is a module decision; the host and backend still determine final forwarding and effects.
The vulnerability and the test boundary
GetPaid 2.8.63-2.8.64 allows unauthenticated payment bypass via fractional item quantities.
The application behavior in this experiment was modeled by a purpose-built fixture. Backend markers in the comparison record the fixture’s effects; they do not mean the vendor application was run.
The broad policy and its tradeoff
The first approach was a declarative deny on the affected route family. It removed access to that surface while active, including legitimate requests. The table below shows the effect on the particular controls included in the experiment.
The case record describes this action but does not retain the complete deployed settings or API request. The exact historical policy cannot be reconstructed from the available record.
The native module
The available source declares the following route or matching constants: const ROUTE: &[u8] = b"/wp-json/getpaid/v1/"; static NEEDLES: [&[u8]; 2] = [b"\"quantity\": 0.", b"\"quantity\":0."];. These are literal source declarations; the complete evaluation code below determines how they are used.
The evaluator extracts the request target from the request line and continues immediately when the target does not begin with its route prefix. For an in-scope request it waits for a complete message and obtains the body through the request API before evaluating the bytes. The refusal predicate checks whether any listed byte sequence appears in the body, ignoring ASCII letter case. It is a substring scan, so its matching boundaries and unlisted representations matter.
Why the matching logic matters
The crucial detail is that the code does not parse a quantity as a number. It searches the body for the literal fragments "quantity": 0. and "quantity":0.. Those strings explain the observed fixture refusal and also its limits: a differently formatted or encoded fractional quantity is not automatically covered.
The before-and-after experiment
| Probe | Baseline (unprotected) | Tier 1 | Tier 2 (module) |
|---|---|---|---|
| benign_payment | 200 | 403 | 200 |
| attack_fractional | 200 (payment_bypassed ×1) | 403 | 403 |
For the attack_fractional probe, the recorded response changed from 200 at baseline to 403 with the module active. The baseline fixture also recorded payment_bypassed; that marker is a simulated backend effect. The benign_payment control returned 200 both before and with the module, while the broader tier-one deny returned 403 for that same control. This comparison describes the listed requests, not a complete test of application behavior.
The case records enrollment, inspection, host approval, signed admission and activation. The activation receipt reported 2/2 local shards serving. The recorded negative tests rejected unauthorized inspection, a changed binding and an invalid signature; revocation produced fail-closed 503 responses. These observations concern the local test, not production deployment.
What the evidence does and does not establish
This experiment covers the recorded fixture requests and the selected Eden boundary. It does not validate every request variant, a real vendor installation, other traffic paths, or production performance. Use the vendor’s fixed release and advisory for the durable repair.
