  • Analyze the security vulnerability in OrderInvoiceController and OrderShipmentController
  • Fix OrderInvoiceController.php: Replace exception message and stack trace exposure with generic error message
  • Fix OrderShipmentController.php: Replace exception message and stack trace exposure with generic error message
  • Address review feedback: Remove logging and simplify error response

Summary

This PR fixes a security vulnerability (Information Exposure) where internal error messages and stack traces were being returned directly to clients in case of server errors.

Changes Made

OrderInvoiceController.php (renderAction method)

  • Return generic error message with HTTP 500 status code instead of exposing exception details

OrderShipmentController.php (renderAction method)

  • Return generic error message with HTTP 500 status code instead of exposing exception details

Security Fix

Before: Exception messages and full stack traces were embedded directly into HTML responses sent to clients.

} catch (\Exception $e) {
    $responseData = '<strong>' . $e->getMessage() . '</strong><br>trace: ' . $e->getTraceAsString();
    $header = ['Content-Type' => 'text/html'];
}
return new Response($responseData, 200, $header);

After: Simple generic error message with HTTP 500 status.

} catch (\Exception $e) {
    return new Response('An error occurred while rendering the invoice.', 500, ['Content-Type' => 'text/html']);
}
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Information Exposure</issue_title>
<issue_description>Problem Statement
Internal error messages and stack traces are returned directly to the client in case of server errors.

Description

  • Exception messages and full stack traces are embedded directly into HTML responses.
  • Internal implementation details leave the server trust boundary.

Example

$responseData = '<strong>' . $e->getMessage() . '</strong><br>trace: ' . $e->getTraceAsString();

$responseData = '<strong>' . $e->getMessage() . '</strong><br>trace: ' . $e->getTraceAsString();

Impact

  • Disclosure of internal classes, file paths, and control flow.
  • Easier analysis of the application architecture.
  • Reduced effort for targeted follow-up attacks.

Mitigation

  • Do not return exception messages or stack traces to clients.
  • Use generic error messages in responses.
  • Log detailed error information exclusively on the server side.

…OrderShipmentController

Replace exception messages and stack traces in client responses with generic error
messages. Detailed error information is now logged server-side using LoggerInterface.

Fixes security vulnerability where internal implementation details were exposed to clients.

Removed the logging and simplified the error response to just return a generic message with HTTP 500 status. Fixed in de3345e.

Address review feedback to remove logging calls and simplify error responses
while still preventing information exposure.
