From 8301e23c3f9328b96cc20d29237c9da696b1facc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell Ballestrini Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 11:32:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add comprehensive tests for multi-output transaction tracking defect fix This adds complete test coverage for the critical fix where multi-output refund transactions now set both refund_tx_hash AND swept_tx_hash to prevent re-sweeping already swept payments. Key test scenarios covered: - Multi-output refund transaction creation (XMR and DOGE) - Shop sweep amount calculation: max(0, received_amount - refund_amount) - Prevention of double-sweep attempts when swept_tx_hash is already set - Same transaction hash handling for both refund and sweep monitoring - Real-world defect scenario using actual transaction hash from logs - Edge cases including full refunds and negative amount protection The tests validate that the "insufficient funds" error has been resolved by ensuring payments with existing swept_tx_hash are not swept again. --- CLAUDE.md | 21 ++ make_post_sell/lib/crypto_watcher/__init__.py | 94 +++++- make_post_sell/lib/sanitize_html.py | 7 +- .../test_multi_output_transaction_tracking.py | 280 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 395 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 make_post_sell/tests/test_multi_output_transaction_tracking.py diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 74a229e..b53d383 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -84,6 +84,27 @@ Query crypto payments: SELECT * FROM mps_crypto_payment WHERE id = 'paymentuuidherewithoutdashes'; ``` +## Cryptocurrency RPC Access + +### Monero Wallet RPC +When debugging or manually testing Monero RPC calls, use digest authentication with these credentials (from Makefile): +- Username: `test_user` +- Password: `test_pass` +- URL: `http://127.0.0.1:18083/json_rpc` + +Example curl command with digest auth: +```bash +curl --digest -u "test_user:test_pass" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18083/json_rpc \ + -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ + -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_transfer_by_txid","params":{"txid":"transaction_hash_here"}}' +``` + +### Dogecoin Core RPC +Dogecoin uses basic authentication (from dogecoin.conf): +- Username: `mps_doge_user` +- Password: `change_this_password_in_production` +- URL: `http://127.0.0.1:22555` + ## Common Issues and Solutions ### UUID Objects diff --git a/make_post_sell/lib/crypto_watcher/__init__.py b/make_post_sell/lib/crypto_watcher/__init__.py index 680c420..ca073c1 100644 --- a/make_post_sell/lib/crypto_watcher/__init__.py +++ b/make_post_sell/lib/crypto_watcher/__init__.py @@ -675,6 +675,25 @@ def process_confirmed_payment(env_request, crypto_payment, client, payment_rescu crypto_payment.refund_tx_hash = result["tx_hash"] crypto_payment.refund_confirmations = 0 + #

The vulnerability exploits the economic reality that DOGE network fees (~0.001-0.008 DOGE) can exceed tiny refund amounts, making refunds impossible while consuming system resources through constant retries. Documented with: - Attack vector analysis - Economic threshold calculations - Impact assessment - Proposed mitigation strategies - Recommended minimum refund thresholds This represents a legitimate resource exhaustion vulnerability that could be exploited to clog the payment processing system. --- DOGE_DOOM.rst | 179 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 179 insertions(+) create mode 100644 DOGE_DOOM.rst diff --git a/DOGE_DOOM.rst b/DOGE_DOOM.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..78da86b --- /dev/null +++ b/DOGE_DOOM.rst @@ -0,0 +1,179 @@ +================================================================================ +DOGE DOOM: Micro-Underpayment Refund Deadlock Vulnerability +================================================================================ + +:Date: 2025-10-03 +:Discovered by: walkeruin +:Severity: Medium - System Resource Exhaustion +:Bounty: 1 XMR (as claimed by walkeruin) + +Overview +======== + +Walkeruin discovered a way to potentially deadlock the crypto payment system by +sending tiny DOGE underpayments that are too small to be economically refunded. + +The Attack Vector +================= + +1. **Micro-Underpayments**: Attacker sends ~$0.01 USD worth of DOGE (0.04 DOGE) + for a payment requiring ~$2.50 USD worth (2.57 DOGE) + +2. **Refund Calculation**: System calculates refund as: + - Customer refund: 0.0364 DOGE (received - 9% fee) + - Shop fee: 0.0036 DOGE + +3. **Network Fee Reality**: DOGE transactions require: + - Base network fee: ~0.001-0.003 DOGE per transaction + - Our fee buffer: 0.005 DOGE (configurable) + - Total estimated cost: ~0.006-0.008 DOGE + +4. **Economic Impossibility**: + - Total refund outputs: 0.04 DOGE + - Network fees: ~0.006-0.008 DOGE + - **Problem**: Not enough funds to cover both outputs AND network fees + +Log Evidence +============ + +From production logs (2025-10-03 13:29:00):: + + Processing payment (status: underpaid-refunded, coin: DOGE, incoming: 17/2, refund: N/A): + Payment cb9f37bb [underpaid-refunded] DOGE 0.04/2.57356623 conf:17/2 + + Attempting to refund: Payment cb9f37bb [underpaid-refunded] DOGE 0.04/2.57356623 + + Refund: 0.0364 DOGE to customer, 0.0036 DOGE fee to shop + + ERROR: Refund failed: Payment cb9f37bb - Dogecoin RPC connection error: + 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error + +The "500 Server Error" is likely the DOGE daemon rejecting the transaction due to +insufficient funds to cover network fees. + +Impact Analysis +=============== + +**Immediate Impact:** +- System retries failed refunds every cycle (20 seconds) +- Each retry wastes CPU/network resources +- Failed transactions clog processing logs + +**Potential Scaling Attack:** +- Attacker could create hundreds of micro-underpayments +- Each creates a permanent "refund debt" that can never be paid +- System resources consumed by endless retry attempts +- Monitoring alerts triggered by constant refund failures + +**Economic Threshold:** +For DOGE, refunds become economically unviable when: +``received_amount < (network_fee + fee_buffer + minimum_output)`` + +With current settings: +- Network fee: ~0.001-0.003 DOGE +- Fee buffer: 0.005 DOGE +- Minimum outputs: 0.00000001 DOGE each (dust limit) +- **Minimum viable refund: ~0.008-0.010 DOGE (~$0.03-$0.04 USD)** + +Attack Reproduction +=================== + +1.
