Summary

  • validate that a PaymentReceipt paymentOptionId exists in the verified Payment Request token
  • add a dedicated InvalidPaymentReceiptError for receipt-level semantic failures
  • cover mismatched receipt payment options with a regression test
  • add a patch changeset for @agentcommercekit/ack-pay

Why

A receipt currently proves a paymentRequestToken and selected paymentOptionId, but verification did not bind that selected option back to the verified request. This keeps receipt proof semantics aligned with the payment options actually offered by the request.

Verification

  • corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  • corepack pnpm --filter @agentcommercekit/ack-pay... build
  • corepack pnpm --filter @agentcommercekit/ack-pay test -- --run
  • corepack pnpm --filter @agentcommercekit/ack-pay check:types
  • corepack pnpm check:format
  • git diff --check

Notes

Initial targeted tests/typecheck failed before building workspace dependencies because local package exports resolve to dist. Building the ack-pay dependency graph fixed that, and the rerun passed. pnpm install reported an ignored better-sqlite3 build script, but this ACK-Pay path does not use it.

AI Usage Disclosure

This contribution was AI-assisted using Codex CLI and the Codex app. AI assistance was used for repository/docs navigation, understanding ACK/Catena context, identifying relevant issues or contribution areas, and assisting with small edits/validation. I reviewed the final diff and take responsibility for the submitted changes.

Walkthrough

This PR adds payment option ID validation to the receipt verification flow. A new InvalidPaymentReceiptError type is introduced, validation logic checks that the receipt's paymentOptionId exists in the verified payment request's options, test coverage confirms the validation behavior, and a changeset documents the patch release.

P1 Badge Derive receipt option from the signed proof

For parsed-credential inputs, this new binding check reads credentialSubject.paymentOptionId from the caller-supplied object, but verifyParsedCredential() only validates proof.jwt and then runs claim checks against the current object. If a service accepts a parsed VC, an attacker can supply a valid receipt proof whose signed payload names one option, mutate this field to an offered option before verification, and this check passes even though the signed receipt did not bind that option. Reparse or derive the receipt fields from proof.jwt (or otherwise reject mutated parsed credentials) before enforcing the payment-option match.

Hey @EfeDurmaz16, thanks for the burst of contributions here.

Before we dig into individual PRs, one thing: our AI Usage Policy requires disclosure of AI tooling used in contributions, including the tool and the extent of assistance. Your PRs and issues don't include any disclosure, but we'd like to confirm: were any of these written or developed with AI assistance? If so, please update the PR descriptions accordingly. We hold all contributors to this standard, ourselves included.

Appreciate the initiative and will be reviewing each PR individually.

Hey @ak68a !

Yes, I used AI assistance, mainly Codex CLI and the Codex app. The assistance was mostly for understanding ACK/Catena context, navigating docs/issues, identifying possible contribution areas, and helping draft or validate small changes. I reviewed the final diffs myself and can explain the changes and why they were made.

I should have disclosed this in the PR descriptions from the start. I’ll update the open PRs with the tooling and extent of AI assistance so they comply with the policy.

Appreciate the clarification, and thanks for taking the time to review them individually.

Looks good. One note for future reference: this check runs against parsedCredential.credentialSubject, which is trustworthy when the input is a JWT string (decoded from the signed payload) but is the caller-supplied object when the input is a pre-parsed credential.

The proof verification validates the JWT inside proof, but doesn't currently enforce that the outer object matches the signed payload. Not a blocker for this PR tho.

Good fix, @EfeDurmaz16. A receipt could claim any paymentOptionId and verification wouldn't catch it. The implementation is clean and minimal.

One thing I want to flag. I dug into the security question re: parsed-credential path:

For JWT inputs (the primary path), parseJwtCredential() decodes from the signed payload, so parsedCredential.credentialSubject.paymentOptionId reflects the signed data.

For pre-parsed credential inputs, verifyParsedCredential() validates proof.jwt, but the new binding check reads from the outer parsedCredential object and not from the signed JWT payload directly.

In theory, a caller could supply a valid receipt proof whose signed payload names one option but mutate the outer object to name another.

That said, this is a pre-existing trust assumption in the VC verification pipeline, not something introduced by your PR. Your change is strictly better than having no check at all. We can open a separate issue to track tightening the parsed-credential binding in verifyParsedCredential itself.

Thanks for digging into that path.

Agreed, this sounds like a separate pre-existing trust boundary in the parsed credential verification flow rather than something this PR should expand into. I will keep this PR scoped to binding the receipt paymentOptionId against the verified payment request options.

I opened a focused follow-up issue for tightening verifyParsedCredential() so the outer parsed credential fields are bound back to the signed JWT payload: #105
