How the CVE Works
The CVE-2025-XXXX vulnerability in Adobe Commerce (Magento) arises due to improper authorization 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 controls and access restricted data without authentication. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user permissions when handling API requests or backend functions. Exploitation occurs when an attacker sends crafted requests to endpoints that lack proper role-based access enforcement. This allows unauthorized read operations, potentially exposing sensitive customer or store data.
DailyCVE Form:

Version: ≤ 2.4.8-beta1
Vulnerability: Authorization Bypass
Severity: Medium
Date: 2025-04-18
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation Analysis:
1. Identify Vulnerable Endpoints:
curl -X GET "https://target.com/rest/V1/endpoint" -H "Authorization: Bearer LOW_PRIV_TOKEN"
2. Craft Malicious Request:
GET /admin/customer/index/ HTTP/1.1 Host: vulnerable-store.com X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
3. Exploit via API:
import requests
response = requests.get("https://target.com/rest/V1/sensitive-data", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer compromised_token"})
print(response.text)
Protection Measures:
1. Patch Immediately:
composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.8-p1 --no-update
2. Enforce Role Checks:
if (!$this->_authorization->isAllowed('Magento_Customer::manage')) {
throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\AuthorizationException(__('Access denied.'));
}
3. Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules:
location /rest/V1/ {
deny all;
allow 192.168.1.0/24;
}
4. Log Monitoring:
grep "Unauthorized access" /var/log/magento/exception.log
