What does this PR do?

Fixes an authorization issue in external payment verification where a sponsor could submit a submissionId belonging to a different listing.

The submission lookup now also requires the authenticated listingId:

  • Prevents a sponsor from verifying payment against another listing's submission.
  • Ensures the submissionId is bound to the listing being authenticated.
  • Returns no matching submission when a cross-listing submission ID is supplied, preventing the unrelated submission from being updated as paid.

Where should the reviewer start?

src/pages/api/sponsor-dashboard/listings/verify-external-payment.ts

Specifically, the prisma.submission.findMany query in the payment verification handler.

How should this be manually tested?

  1. Use two different project listings owned by different sponsors.
  2. Identify a winner submissionId from listing B.
  3. Authenticate as the sponsor of listing A.
  4. Submit listing B's submissionId to the external payment verification endpoint for listing A.
  5. Verify that the submission from listing B is not returned/updated.
  6. Verify that the legitimate submissions belonging to listing A continue to work as expected.

Any background context you want to provide?

The endpoint previously authenticated the sponsor against the request's listingId, but the subsequent submission lookup only filtered by submissionId and isPaid.

This allowed a submission from another listing to reach the payment verification/update flow.

This change binds the submission lookup to the authenticated listing as an additional authorization boundary.

What are the relevant issues?

Security fix for cross-listing submission authorization / IDOR in external payment verification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Payment verification now checks that the submission belongs to the requested listing, preventing verification against unrelated listings.
    • Payment validation now supports eligible partial payments while continuing to reject zero or negative transfers.
    • Partial payment verification now accepts the remaining unpaid amount rather than requiring a zero expected balance.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Payment validation now supports positive partial payments for native SOL and token transfers. The verification handler scopes submission lookup by listingId and validates project payments against the remaining amount.

Changes

Payment verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate partial payment amounts
src/features/sponsor-dashboard/utils/paymentRPCValidation.ts
validatePayment accepts allowPartialPayment, rejects non-positive expected amounts, and requires positive actual transfers while skipping exact-amount checks for enabled partial payments.
Apply scoped payment verification
src/pages/api/sponsor-dashboard/listings/verify-external-payment.ts
The handler filters submissions by listingId. Project payments use the remaining amount with partial payments enabled. Other payments use the full winner reward.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cd346

The PR binds payment verification to the authenticated listing, but payment amount validation still accepts non-finite values that can bypass mismatch checks and persist invalid payment details. Merge should wait for this bounded payment-integrity issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

PR #1471 is ready for review. CodeRabbit passed with no actionable comments and there are no conflicts. The only failing check is Vercel because deployment authorization requires a Superteam team member. The security fix itself is limited to binding submission lookup to listingId.

Make allowPartialPayment explicit and readonly.

Declare the property as readonly allowPartialPayment: boolean | undefined;. Update callers that omit it to pass undefined explicitly.

As per coding guidelines, TypeScript properties must use property: Type | undefined, and object properties should be readonly by default.

Reject non-finite expectedAmount values.

expectedAmount <= 0 accepts NaN and Infinity. Both values disable the amount-mismatch check. The add-payment endpoint also accepts truthy string values such as "NaN" and "Infinity", then persists them in paymentDetails.

Use !Number.isFinite(expectedAmount) || expectedAmount <= 0.

Updated to support partial project payments.
The expected amount now uses the remaining amount for project payments, and allowPartialPayment is enabled only for project listings. This also keeps the normal full-payment validation unchanged for non-project payments.
