Executive Summary
mppx is a TypeScript interface for machine payments protocol. Prior to version 0.4.11, the stripe/charge payment method did not check Stripe's Idempotent-Replayed response header when creating PaymentIntents. An attacker could replay a valid credential containing the same spt token against a new challenge, and the server would accept the replayed Stripe PaymentIntent as a new successful payment without actually charging the customer again. This allowed an attacker to pay once and consume unlimited resources by replaying the credential. This issue has been patched in version 0.4.11.
Quantitative Risk Analysis
OsVault Risk Score Methodology
The OsVault composite score is a 5-layer non-linear engine — not a simple weighted average. Each input signal is transformed through mathematically appropriate curves before blending, ensuring that exploitability context overrides raw severity when warranted.
Layer 1 (Technical): CVSS is mapped through a piecewise exponential curve with 4 bands (LOW 0–20, MEDIUM 20–55, HIGH 55–85, CRITICAL 85–100), then multiplied by full CVSS vector decomposition factors for Attack Vector, Complexity, Privileges, and User Interaction.
Layer 2 (Threat): Raw EPSS is passed through a logistic sigmoid (k=40, midpoint=0.05) to maximize discrimination in the decision-relevant range. The result is added to an exploit maturity tier base score (Weaponized: 85, Functional: 55, PoC: 40, Unproven: 18).
Layer 3 (KEV Floor):Any CVE in CISA's catalog receives a hard minimum of 93.0 (Functional) or 97.0 (Weaponized). This ensures confirmed exploitation is never buried by low CVSS scores.
Scores ≥70: patch immediately. 40–69: schedule within current sprint. Below 40: standard maintenance cycle.
