CVE-2023-47110
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 · uneditedblockreassurance adds an information block aimed at offering helpful information to reassure customers that their store is trustworthy. An ajax function in module blockreassurance allows modifying any value in the configuration table. This vulnerability has been patched in version 5.1.4.
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.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe blockreassurance PrestaShop module contains an insecure ajax function that lacks proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated attackers to modify arbitrary configuration values in the database by manipulating the ajax endpoint.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify blockreassurance module versionLog into the PrestaShop admin panel, navigate to Modules > Module Manager, locate the 'Customer Reassurance Block' (blockreassurance) module, and note the installed version number.Affected if The installed version is lower than 5.1.4 (for example, 5.1.3, 5.1.0, or earlier)
-
Check module file version as fallbackIf the admin panel is inaccessible, inspect the module directory. Navigate to /modules/blockreassurance/ and open the config.xml or composer.json file to read the version tag.Affected if The version found in the module files is lower than 5.1.4
-
Confirm admin panel access statusCheck whether the PrestaShop admin directory (/admin or similar) is exposed to the public internet without IP restriction or VPN. Attempt to access the login page from an external network.Affected if The admin panel is publicly accessible without IP allowlisting or VPN tunneling
-
Inspect the ajax endpoint existenceExamine the module directory for the ajax controller file. Typical path is /modules/blockreassurance/controllers/admin/ajax.php or similar. Verify if this file handles configuration updates.Affected if The ajax.php file exists in the module's admin controller directory and accepts configuration parameter modifications without validation
You are affected if the blockreassurance module version is below 5.1.4 and the admin panel or ajax endpoint is accessible to authenticated users.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped5.1.4
Update the blockreassurance module to version 5.1.4 or later to apply the security patch. If immediate update is not possible, restrict access to the admin panel and disable the vulnerable ajax endpoint.
blockreassurance module version 5.1.4
- Backup your PrestaShop database and the current blockreassurance module files
- Navigate to the PrestaShop Addons marketplace or the module's official source and download version 5.1.4
- Log into the PrestaShop admin panel
- Go to Modules > Module Manager and uninstall the current blockreassurance module (or disable it)
- Upload and install the downloaded version 5.1.4
- Configure the module settings as needed
- Verify that the ajax function no longer allows unauthorized configuration changes
