hunting-price-and-coupon-manipulation

hunting-price-and-coupon-manipulation is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 181 tokens per session (2,180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review for checkout logic that verifies the server computes prices from its trusted product catalogue. It checks quantities, line totals, discounts, and coupons rather than trusting values sent by the buyer or calculated in the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test cart and checkout requests with altered prices, quantities, totals, and coupons. Check that the server recomputes every amount and enforces discount rules.
Why use it?
It finds ways to pay less by changing prices, using negative or overflowing quantities, or reusing and stacking discounts. The review keeps the buyer from controlling the amount charged.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hunting-price-and-coupon-manipulation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hunting price and coupon manipulation: whoever computes the total decides what you pay

The amount a customer is charged is computed from item prices, quantities, and discounts, and the only safe place to do that computation is the server, from data the buyer cannot change. When any input to the total is taken from the client, the buyer sets the price. The failures are direct. A price, quantity, or line total sent in the request and trusted, rather than recomputed from a server-side catalog, lets a buyer name their own price. A negative quantity subtracts from the total, and a quantity large enough to overflow the arithmetic wraps it to a small or negative number. A discount or coupon that stacks with itself or others, is reused past its intended limit, or applies to items it was never meant for, cuts the total below its floor. And a total computed in the browser and accepted at checkout hands the whole calculation to the attacker. The hunt is to find any input to the charged total that the buyer controls. You hunt this by altering prices, quantities, and coupons in the request and seeing what the server charges.

When to use

  • A buyer influences cart contents, quantities, or promotions and the server computes a charged total.
  • Prices, quantities, or line totals may be taken from the client request rather than a trusted catalog.
  • Coupons or discounts may stack, be reused past their limit, or apply to items outside their scope.

Scope check

Test pricing and promotions only against applications you own or are authorized to assess, on non-production or sandbox checkout paths. Manipulating totals and placing orders exercises real commerce, so use test accounts and sandbox payment and never complete a real underpriced purchase or consume real promotions. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish the server-side price of truth first. Confirm the total should be recomputed on the server from a trusted catalog of prices, with server-validated quantities and server-enforced coupon rules, and that no price, line total, or discount from the client is trusted. This is the false-positive killer: a checkout that recomputes every amount server-side from the catalog, bounds quantities, and enforces coupon scope, stacking, and reuse limits is correct. Name the price of truth, then test each input.
