Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Pilot the specific payment method using a patched implementation.

Why
MPP has usable integration components, but results from one rail do not establish another implementation's correctness or recovery guarantees.
Next
Pin the selected SDK, verify applicable security fixes, and exercise replay, spending limits, failed delivery and reconciliation before production expansion.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Independent current Visa mpp-card validation remains unestablished.
  • Payment success does not ensure recoverable service delivery.
  • Older mppx versions contain payment bypass, replay and fee-draining vulnerabilities.
  • Fix adoption requires implementation-specific verification.
  • Cross-rail interoperability and broad production repeatability remain unestablished.
