Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

Frontend test payment mode enablable in production via NEXT_PUBLIC env var

Severity: high Domain: Payment Labels: security, frontend, test-bypass

Description

isTestPaymentEnabled() in src/web3/services/test-payment-service.ts is gated only on NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_TEST_PAYMENT env flag. Setting this flag in a production deployment (intentionally or by misconfiguration) activates test-payment mode, which bypasses real payment flows.

Options

  1. Gate isTestPaymentEnabled() on (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') AND the env flag — code-level hard stop.
  2. Strip the test-payment code path entirely from production via a build-time define/dead-code elimination.
  3. Both: NODE_ENV guard plus CI assertion that the flag is unset in prod env.

Recommendation

Require NODE_ENV !== 'production' in addition to the flag, and add a CI check that NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_TEST_PAYMENT is absent in production secrets.
