How the CVE Works
The vulnerability in Adobe Commerce (Magento) stems from improper access control checks in versions 2.4.8-beta1, 2.4.7-p3, 2.4.6-p8, 2.4.5-p10, 2.4.4-p11, and earlier. Attackers with low privileges can bypass security restrictions, gaining unauthorized read-only access to sensitive data. The flaw occurs due to insufficient validation of user permissions when accessing restricted API endpoints or backend modules. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as tricking an admin into clicking a malicious link or executing a crafted request.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: Adobe Commerce
Version: ≤ 2.4.8-beta1
Vulnerability: Improper Access Control
Severity: Medium
Date: 2025-04-16
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Identify vulnerable endpoints via `/rest/V1/modules` or admin panel.
- Craft a malicious GET/POST request to bypass ACL checks:
GET /admin/customer/index/ HTTP/1.1 Host: target.com X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
3. Use CSRF phishing to hijack admin sessions:
<form action="https://target.com/admin/dashboard/" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="export_customers"> </form>
Mitigation:
- Patch immediately using Adobe Security Bulletin APSB25-08.
2. Restrict admin access via IP whitelisting:
<Location /admin> Require ip 192.168.1.0/24 </Location>
3. Disable unused APIs:
bin/magento config:set admin/security/admin_account_sharing 0
4. Audit logs for suspicious activity:
grep "admin/customer" var/log/access.log
Detection:
- Nmap script to check exposed endpoints:
nmap --script http-vuln-cve2025-XXXX -p 443 target.com
- Magento scanner:
php bin/magento security:check
