Magento – Security Patch SUPEE-8167 – possible problems

magento-1.9patchespaypalsupee-8167

I noticed a security message on my magento admin panel. I have proceeded to apply the patch but Is there anyone who can tell what are the possible areas need to test after applying this patch?

It's obvious that I need to check if paypal payment method is working or not. Apart from that, any tweaks I need to do?

If you have magento 1.9.3.3 installed, then the new PayPal changes are applied.

However, NOTE the patch changes are implemented DIFFERENTLY than how magento 1.9.3.3 does this.

I.e. the end result in posting to PayPal is the same, however, the code is structured significantly different between what the patch does and how Magento 1.9.3.3 is coded.

See: https://community.magento.com/t5/Security-Patches/SUPEE-8167-not-included-in-1-9-3-3/m-p/68857

Best bet, especially for future updates and patches is to simply update to Magento 1.9.3.3 rather than messing with SUPEE-8167 patch.
