CVE-2024-20758
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 · uneditedAdobe Commerce versions 2.4.6-p4, 2.4.5-p6, 2.4.4-p7, 2.4.7-beta3 and earlier are affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution on the underlying filesystem. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction, but the attack complexity is high.
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 confidenceAdobe Commerce versions 2.4.6-p4, 2.4.5-p6, 2.4.4-p7, 2.4.7-beta3 and earlier contain an improper input validation vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the underlying filesystem. The vulnerability is exploitable without user interaction but requires high attack complexity.

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.
-
Identify if Adobe Commerce or Magento is installedLook for composer.json in the web root, or check for the typical Magento directory structure (app/code/Magento, var/generation, pub/index.php). Alternatively, check the admin panel footer for the version number.Affected if Adobe Commerce or Magento software is found on the system
-
Determine the installed versionRun 'composer show magento/product-enterprise-edition 2>/dev/null | grep version' or 'composer show magento/community-edition 2>/dev/null | grep version' from the project root. Or check the version in composer.lock file under the magento package entry.Affected if The version shown is 2.3.7, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, or 2.4.7, or any version earlier than 2.4.4-p8, 2.4.5-p7, or 2.4.6-p5
-
Check if patches have been appliedInspect the app/etc/config.php file for the patch version references, or check the composer.json for the applied patch version in the 'replace' or extra sections. Also check the composer.lock for patched version entries.Affected if No security patches (2.4.6-p5, 2.4.5-p7, or 2.4.4-p8) are reflected in the installation and the base version remains in the affected range
-
Determine network exposure of admin or exposed endpointsReview web server configuration and firewall rules to identify if the Magento admin panel (/admin) or any custom endpoints handling file operations are accessible from untrusted networks.Affected if The admin panel or endpoints processing user-supplied input are reachable from the internet or untrusted networks, increasing the attack surface
The environment is affected if Adobe Commerce or Magento is installed with a version between 2.3.7 and 2.4.7 (including all patch levels before p8/p7/p5) and the vulnerable input handling code is accessible without additional authentication barriers.

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 · scopedApply the vendor-supplied security patches (2.4.6-p5, 2.4.5-p7, 2.4.4-p8 or later) or upgrade to the latest stable Adobe Commerce version. Until patched, review and restrict input handling in exposed endpoints.
Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 (stable) or latest patch (2.4.6-p5+, 2.4.5-p7+, 2.4.4-p8+)
- 1. Backup your Adobe Commerce/Magento database and filesystem
- 2. Review the Adobe Commerce release notes at helpx.adobe.com for version 2.4.7 and associated security patches
- 3. Upgrade to Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 (stable release) or apply the latest security patch for your current version line (e.g., 2.4.6-p5, 2.4.5-p7, or 2.4.4-p8)
- 4. After upgrade, clear the cache: bin/magento cache:flush
- 5. Verify the upgrade by checking the admin panel and running bin/magento --version
- 6. Test critical commerce workflows (checkout, catalog, customer accounts) to ensure functionality
