CVE-2026-31824 — Sylius has a Promotion Usage Limit Bypass via Race Condition
Sylius is an Open Source eCommerce Framework on Symfony. A Time-of-Check To Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition was discovered in the promotion usage limit enforcement. The same class of vulnerability affects the promotion usage limit (the global used counter on Promotion entities), coupon usage limit (the global used counter on PromotionCoupon entities), and coupon per-customer usage limit (the per-customer redemption count on PromotionCoupon entities). In all three cases, the eligibility check reads the used counter (or order count) from an in-memory Doctrine entity during validation, while the actual usage increment in OrderPromotionsUsageModifier happens later during order completion — with no database-level locking or atomic operations between the two phases. Because Doctrine flushes an absolute value (SET used = 1) rather than an atomic increment (SET used = used + 1), and because the affected entities lack optimistic locking, concurrent requests all read the same stale usage counts and pass the eligibility checks simultaneously. An attacker can exploit this by preparing multiple carts with the same limited-use promotion or coupon and firing simultaneous PATCH /api/v2/shop/orders/{token}/complete requests. All requests pass the usage limit checks and complete successfully, allowing a single-use promotion or coupon to be redeemed an arbitrary number of times. The per-customer limit can be bypassed in the same way by a single customer completing multiple orders concurrently. No authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. This may lead to direct financial loss through unlimited redemption of limited-use promotions and discount coupons. The issue is fixed in versions: 1.9.12, 1.10.16, 1.11.17, 1.12.23, 1.13.15, 1.14.18, 2.0.16, 2.1.12, 2.2.3 and above.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.3% (30-day exploitation probability)+3
- Technical severity (medium)+3
- Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Sylius Sylius).
- The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
- Apply the documented mitigations until a definitive fix is available.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (logic error), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-31824 is "Sylius has a Promotion Usage Limit Bypass via Race Condition", rated Medium. It affects Sylius (Sylius); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.9 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.31% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
