## Affected

- shopware SwagPayPal: fixed in 5.4.4
- swag/paypal (Packagist): fixed in 5.4.4

## Description

SwagPayPal is a PayPal integration for shopware/platform. If JavaScript-based PayPal checkout methods are used (PayPal Plus, Smart Payment Buttons, SEPA, Pay Later, Venmo, Credit card), the amount and item list sent to PayPal may not be identical to the one in the created order. The problem has been fixed with version 5.4.4. As a workaround, disable the aforementioned payment methods or use the Security Plugin in version >= 1.0.21.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on shopware SwagPayPal, swag/paypal, upgrade to a fixed version (5.4.4) per the references below.
