Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Invoice descriptions are sent to LNbits without JSON escaping. A description containing a quote breaks invoice creation. A crafted description could turn the request into a payment that skips the payment safeguards. Lookups can also mislabel some failed incoming payments as outgoing.

Serialize LNbits request bodies as JSON instead of formatting strings. Both request bodies insert caller-controlled strings with {s} and do not escape them. A " in the value can add keys to the body. Python json keeps the last duplicate key, so an injected out key overrides the intended one.

Do not map a missing amount to an outgoing payment.
lookup_invoice calls lookupPayment directly. parsePaymentDetails accepts a response with no details.amount and leaves amount_msat null. In that case, a failed incoming payment can be reported as outgoing and .failed instead of .expired. The missing-amount filter in lookupOutgoing does not apply to this path.
🐛 Suggested fix
- const incoming = if (details.amount_msat) |a| a > 0 else false;
+ const amount_msat = details.amount_msat orelse {
+ response.err = .{ .code = .not_found, .message = "Invoice not found" };
+ return response.serialize(buf);
+ };
+ const incoming = amount_msat > 0;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Follow-up to #11, from a security review of the payment paths.
Ambiguous payments are no longer reported as failed. Any error after the pay request was sent (timeout, reset connection, 5xx, an oversized or unreadable body) used to come back as
PAYMENT_FAILED, although the payment may have gone through, which invites the client to pay again. Puck now reads the payment hash from the invoice before paying (newsrc/bolt11.zig, checksum-verified, BOLT 11 test vectors) and:PAYMENT_FAILEDonly when LNbits definitively says the payment failed or could not be reached, and even then checks the payment by hash once first; a failed row that predates this attempt (itsupdated_atunchanged from a lookup taken before paying) is not taken as this attempt's failure;INTERNALwith "Payment status unknown, it may still complete; check lookup_invoice before retrying" (NIP-47 has no pending code).Deadlines. Every LNbits call is raced against a timer (30 s for pay, 10 s otherwise); a pay timeout is treated as ambiguous, not failed. Responses up to 64 KiB are read in full instead of failing at 4 KiB.
Also:
lookup_invoicealways reportedpending; it now maps paid, failed and pending correctly.encryptiontag getsUNSUPPORTED_ENCRYPTION, as NIP-47 requires, instead of being dropped.Tested live against a local relay and an LNbits stand-in on Zig 0.16 and 0.17: success, definite failure, 5xx and connection reset after paying, a hanging pay, pending forever, a 40 KB response, failure then paid, and 5xx then failed all got the expected reply, and the stand-in saw exactly one pay attempt each. So did an old failed row followed by a 502 then paid, a success with no or a wrong preimage, a rejection whose lookups fail, and 20 KB failure details and memos (the previous code got 7 of these wrong). Not tested against a real LNbits instance.
