Vulnerability details
The payment integration pretix-oppwa provides support for the payment providers VR Payment, Hobex, and potentially others based on Oppwa's technology. The integration of Oppwa, following their official documentation, includes a step where the user is redirected from the payment provider…

back to our system with a query parameter like ?resourcePath=/v1/checkouts/{checkoutId}/payment in the URL. Our system is then supposed to fetch the status of the transaction from the URL given by baseUrl + resourcePath. Our plugin pretix-oppwa did so insecurely by concatenating the parameter form the URL to the base domain of the API without further validation and, critically, without a / at the end of the baseUrl. Therefore, an attacker could inject a resourcePath argument in a way that causes pretix to call a different server instead. Since the request includes the access token (API key) of the Oppwa account, this would leak the access token, giving access to data contained in the payment provider's system. This is fixed with the release today by strictly validating the given API URL. After installing the update, we recommend asking your payment provider for a new access token and updating it in pretix.

Mitigating Controls
Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Directly implements checks on information inputs to reject invalid data before processing.
Penetration testing attempts server-side requests to internal resources, identifying SSRF weaknesses for remediation.
Security testing and developer training directly verify and enforce proper input validation, reducing exploitability of injection and malformed-data weaknesses.
Security testing and evaluation at multiple SDLC stages directly detects missing or flawed input validation, with the required remediation process ensuring fixes are applied.
Outbound connections to external resources can be monitored and limited at the boundary, reducing SSRF impact.
Detects server-side request forgery through monitoring of unexpected outbound connections.
Spam protection mechanisms perform filtering and detection on inbound/outbound messages, directly compensating for missing or weak input validation of unsolicited content.
