# Business Logic Errors (CWE-840)

The product does not properly implement the business logic rules, which may allow users to manipulate the system in unintended ways.

**Stack:** Python

- Prevalence: 中 覆盖 3 种语言
- Impact: 高 3 条严重级别为高的规则
- Prevention: 已记录 3 个修复示例

**OWASP:** Broken Access Control (A01:2021-Broken Access Control) - #1

## Description

Business logic errors occur when the application's implementation doesn't correctly enforce the intended business rules. Unlike technical vulnerabilities, these are flaws in the application's design or logic.

## Prevention

基于 1 条 Shoulder 检测规则的 Business Logic Errors 预防策略。

### Python

Calculate totals server-side using database prices instead of client-submitted values

## Warning Signs

- [HIGH] client-controlled business-critical values (price, quantity, discount)
flowing to payment or busines

## Consequences

- 绕过保护机制
- 获取权限
- 修改应用程序数据

## Mitigations

- 清晰记录业务规则及其安全影响
- 测试边界情况和异常工作流
- 在服务器端验证所有业务规则

## Detection

- Total rules: 3
- Languages: go, javascript, typescript, python

## Rules by Language

### Python (1 rules)

- **Business Logic Bypass** [HIGH]: Detects client-controlled business-critical values (price, quantity, discount)
flowing to payment or business operations without server-side validation.
  - Remediation: Calculate totals server-side using database prices instead of client values.

```python
@app.post('/checkout')
async def checkout(item_id: int, quantity: int):
    product = Product.query.get(item_id)
    total = product.price * quantity
    stripe.Charge.create(amount=total)
```
