/rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

/rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

We're getting thousands of calls to different flavors of the following:

/rest/default/V1/guest-carts/zHghQPWEgbShMdyjUiDLVDoNVuD4Pren/payment-information

 

Due to the rest call, these are breezing past Cloudflare on default settings. 

 

First off, I'm surprised to see rest baked into front-end delivery.  I'm seeing more and more modules doing that or we'd restrict V1 to an IP range.   In any case, the above URL generates an email on every call.  We've shut down guest checkout and blocked access to the URL for now.

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

We're having this issue too, would it be possible for you to explain a little more on what you did?

 

Have you simply blocked access to /rest/default/V1/ globally or have you just restricted access to internal calls only?

Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has had this and what they might have done to solve it?

I've personally just seen this on another customers website.

Small redacted example below, this is just a very small section of the 8000+ requests that came in during a 5 minute window before they stopped.

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

It's actually not a DDOS attack.  I have three clients (2 on Magento and 1 on WooCommerce) that have this issue.  On Magento, somebody is adding the lowest price product they can find to a cart, and then using the API cart ID from the on-page Ajax calls to hit this endpoint thousands of times with different credit card details each time:

 

POST /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/{cart-id}/payment-information

 

Every time there is a successful transaction, they know they have a card they can use for other purchases.

 

So they're using Magento's internal REST method as a tool for credit card fraud.

 

 

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

We got the same attack, we think to block external POST requests on */rest/*/V1/guest-carts/* by validating that the IP is from the server and the HTTP referer is the right on. We will probably also add Nginx rate limit to diminish frequency if the attack spoofs the IP or the domain referer. 

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

We are facing similar attacks on the rest api endpoint of paypal payflow pro as follows 
paypal/trasparent/requestSecureToken  
did you find any potential solution to tackle this?

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

Got attacked the past week, any way to block these?

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

Anyone ever solve this?

Re: /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/ open to DDOS

Did anyone ever come up with a solution to this as I'm getting a request every second currently and it's taking out Redis at the same time.

 

I'm using CE 2.4.2
