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 2.4.6-p3, 2.4.5-p5, 2.4.4-p6 and earlier are affected by a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to trick a victim into performing actions they did not intend to do, which could be used to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, typically in the form of the victim clicking a link or visiting a malicious website.

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 confidence

Adobe Commerce contains a CSRF vulnerability in versions 2.4.6-p3, 2.4.5-p5, 2.4.4-p6 and earlier that allows attackers to forge requests by tricking authenticated administrators into clicking malicious links or visiting attacker-controlled sites, potentially bypassing security controls and performing unauthorized actions.

MitigationApply the vendor security patch from Adobe immediately. Additionally, implement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing operations and configure SameSite attributes on session cookies to prevent cross-site request forgery.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Adobe Commerce version
    Run the command bin/magento --version or check composer.json for the magento/product-community-edition version entry
    Affected if The installed version matches 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, or any version earlier than 2.4.4-p6, 2.4.5-p5, or 2.4.6-p3
  2. Confirm admin panel is accessible
    Verify that the /admin or custom admin URL is reachable and authentication is enabled in the deployment
    Affected if The admin panel is exposed and accessible to users who could be tricked into clicking malicious links
  3. Verify CSRF token protection on admin forms
    Inspect page source of admin forms (e.g., customer create, product edit) to check for form_key or similar CSRF token input fields
    Affected if State-changing admin forms lack CSRF token validation (form_key parameter missing or not validated on submission)
  4. Check SameSite cookie configuration
    Review app/etc/env.php for session cookie settings or inspect browser cookies for the admin session to verify SameSite and Secure flags
    Affected if Session cookies lack SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax attributes, allowing cross-site requests

You are affected if running Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.4 through 2.4.6 (or earlier than 2.4.4-p6/2.4.5-p5/2.4.6-p3) with an accessible admin panel and missing CSRF protections.

Mitigation

Apply the vendor security patch from Adobe immediately. Additionally, implement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing operations and configure SameSite attributes on session cookies to prevent cross-site request forgery.

Recommended fix High confidence

Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 (latest stable release) or version-specific patch releases: 2.4.4-p7, 2.4.5-p6, 2.4.6-p4

  1. 1. Identify your current Adobe Commerce version and patch level (e.g., 2.4.4-p5, 2.4.5-p4, 2.4.6-p2).
  2. 2. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.4-p6 and earlier: upgrade to 2.4.4-p7 or later, preferably 2.4.7 or latest stable release.
  3. 3. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p5 and earlier: upgrade to 2.4.5-p6 or later, preferably 2.4.7 or latest stable release.
  4. 4. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.6-p3 and earlier: upgrade to 2.4.6-p4 or later, preferably 2.4.7 or latest stable release.
  5. 5. Test the upgrade in a staging environment before deploying to production.
  6. 6. Verify the CSRF protection is functioning after upgrade by reviewing Adobe security release notes.
Caveat Adobe Commerce minor version upgrades may have breaking changes; review release notes for deprecations and compatibility with custom modules/extensions before upgrading.
