Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.3-p2 (and earlier), 2.3.7-p3 (and earlier) and 2.4.4 (and earlier) are affected by an Improper Access Control vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to leak minor information of another user's account detials. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-863

An authorization check exists but is flawed, so it passes when it should fail. Attackers probe roles and object references to find the gap. Remediation means centralising and correctly implementing the access-control logic, then testing it against every role.

Recommended fix High confidence

Adobe Commerce 2.4.5 or later

  1. Review the official Adobe security bulletin (APSB22-38) at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb22-38.html for detailed patch information
  2. Create a complete backup of the Adobe Commerce/Magento installation and database
  3. Test the upgrade in a non-production staging environment first to identify any compatibility issues
  4. Upgrade Adobe Commerce to version 2.4.5 or later (the first version containing the security fix for CVE-2022-35692)
  5. Verify the security patch is applied by checking the installed version
  6. Test critical user flows and the specific fix area to ensure proper functionality
Caveat Major version upgrades may introduce breaking changes including PHP 8.x requirement, Elasticsearch requirement, and potential incompatibilities with custom modules or themes; thoroughly test in staging before production deployment
