Attack Tree Path: 1. [CRITICAL NODE] 2. Exploit Misconfiguration of stripe-python or Application Integration [HIGH-RISK PATH]

  • General Attack Vector: Exploiting weaknesses arising from improper setup, configuration, or integration of stripe-python and the application environment. This often involves human error in deployment and configuration.

    • Impact: Can range from API key compromise leading to full Stripe account control, to application state manipulation, financial fraud, and data breaches.

Attack Tree Path: 2. [CRITICAL NODE] 2.1. Insecure API Key Management [HIGH-RISK PATH]

  • General Attack Vector: Gaining unauthorized access to Stripe API Secret Keys due to insecure storage, handling, or exposure. Secret Keys grant broad access to Stripe account operations.

    • Impact: Full compromise of Stripe account, including ability to:

      • Access all financial data (transactions, customers, balances).
      • Initiate payments and refunds.
      • Modify account settings and configurations.
      • Potentially exfiltrate customer data.

    • 2.1.1. [HIGH-RISK PATH] Hardcoded API Keys in Source Code [HIGH-RISK PATH]

      • Attack Vector: Attacker finds Secret API keys directly embedded within the application's source code. This could be in configuration files, Python files, or any other code repository.
      • How:
        • Directly inspecting source code if publicly accessible (e.g., open-source projects with accidental key commits).
        • Gaining access to source code through other vulnerabilities (e.g., code injection, insecure server).
        • Compromising developer machines or build systems where source code is stored.

    • 2.1.2. [HIGH-RISK PATH] Exposed API Keys in Version Control Systems [HIGH-RISK PATH]

      • Attack Vector: Secret API keys are accidentally committed to version control history (e.g., Git repositories), even if later removed from the current codebase.
      • How:
        • Publicly accessible repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) if keys are committed and the repository is public or becomes public due to misconfiguration.
        • Compromised private repositories if attacker gains access to the version control system.
        • Using Git history analysis tools to find previously committed secrets even if removed from the latest commit.

    • 2.1.3. [HIGH-RISK PATH] Insecure Storage of API Keys [HIGH-RISK PATH]

      • Attack Vector: Secret API keys are stored in plain text or weakly protected configuration files on the application server or infrastructure.
      • How:
        • Gaining unauthorized access to the server through vulnerabilities (e.g., server misconfiguration, remote code execution).
        • Exploiting local file inclusion vulnerabilities in the application to read configuration files.
        • Compromising infrastructure components where configuration files are stored (e.g., cloud storage buckets with weak permissions).

Attack Tree Path: 3. [CRITICAL NODE] 2.2. Insecure Webhook Handling [HIGH-RISK PATH]

  • General Attack Vector: Exploiting vulnerabilities in how the application receives and processes Stripe webhook events. Webhooks are used by Stripe to notify the application about events like successful payments, failed charges, etc.

    • Impact: Application state manipulation, financial fraud (e.g., marking payments as successful when they are not), data corruption, denial of service.

    • 2.2.1. [HIGH-RISK PATH] Lack of Webhook Signature Verification [CRITICAL NODE] [HIGH-RISK PATH]

      • Attack Vector: Application does not verify the signature of webhook events sent by Stripe. This allows an attacker to forge webhook events and send malicious payloads to the webhook endpoint.
      • How:
        • Attacker crafts fake webhook requests that mimic legitimate Stripe events.
        • Sends these forged requests to the application's webhook endpoint.
        • Since signature verification is missing, the application processes these forged events as if they were genuine, leading to unintended actions based on the attacker's crafted data.
        • Example: Forging a payment_intent.succeeded event to trick the application into granting access to paid features without actual payment.

Attack Tree Path: 4. [CRITICAL NODE] 3. Exploit Application Logic Flaws in Stripe Integration [HIGH-RISK PATH]

  • General Attack Vector: Exploiting flaws in the application's code that interacts with stripe-python and the Stripe API. This arises from developer errors in implementing payment flows, data validation, and business logic related to Stripe.

    • Impact: Financial loss, revenue leakage, unauthorized access to paid features, data breaches, business logic bypasses.

    • 3.1. [CRITICAL NODE] Payment Manipulation Vulnerabilities [HIGH-RISK PATH]

      • General Attack Vector: Manipulating payment amounts, currencies, or payment flow logic to pay less than intended or bypass payments entirely.

      • 3.1.1. [HIGH-RISK PATH] Price Tampering [HIGH-RISK PATH]

        • Attack Vector: Attacker modifies the price of goods or services before the payment is processed by Stripe. This usually happens if price calculations or validation are done client-side or are not properly enforced server-side.
        • How:
          • Intercepting and modifying API requests sent from the client-side to the server-side that contain price information.
          • Manipulating client-side code (if price calculations are done in JavaScript) to send a lower price to the server.
          • Exploiting vulnerabilities in server-side code that handles price parameters, allowing injection of lower price values.
          • Example: Changing the price of an item in browser's developer tools before submitting a purchase request.

Attack Tree Path: 5. [CRITICAL NODE] 4. Exploit Vulnerabilities in Dependencies of stripe-python [HIGH-RISK PATH]

  • General Attack Vector: Exploiting known security vulnerabilities in the third-party libraries that stripe-python depends on. stripe-python relies on libraries like requests and urllib3, which if vulnerable, can indirectly compromise applications using stripe-python.

    • Impact: Can range from denial of service to remote code execution, depending on the nature of the vulnerability in the dependency.

    • 4.1. [CRITICAL NODE] Vulnerable Dependencies [HIGH-RISK PATH]

      • General Attack Vector: Using versions of stripe-python dependencies that contain known security vulnerabilities.

      • 4.1.1. [HIGH-RISK PATH] Known Vulnerabilities in Dependency Libraries [HIGH-RISK PATH]

        • Attack Vector: Exploiting publicly disclosed vulnerabilities (e.g., CVEs) in libraries like requests, urllib3, or others used by stripe-python.
        • How:
          • Identifying vulnerable dependency versions used by the application (e.g., through dependency scanning tools or by checking requirements.txt or Pipfile.lock).
          • Exploiting the specific vulnerability in the identified dependency. This could involve sending specially crafted requests, exploiting deserialization flaws, or other attack methods depending on the vulnerability.
          • Example: If requests has a known vulnerability allowing remote code execution, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability in an application using stripe-python if that application uses a vulnerable version of requests (even indirectly through stripe-python).
