CVE-2024-24307
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 · uneditedPath Traversal vulnerability in Tunis Soft "Product Designer" (productdesigner) module for PrestaShop before version 1.178.36, allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges and obtain sensitive information via the ajaxProcessCropImage() method.
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 · moderate confidenceA path traversal vulnerability in the ajaxProcessCropImage() method of the Tunis Soft Product Designer module for PrestaShop allows remote attackers to manipulate file paths using directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../), enabling unauthorized access to sensitive files outside the intended web directory and potential privilege escalation.

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.
-
Confirm Product Designer module is installedCheck your PrestaShop modules directory or access the Modules > Module Manager page to verify the 'Product Designer' or 'Tunis Soft Product Designer' module is present and activeAffected if The module is installed and active in PrestaShop
-
Identify the installed Product Designer versionIn PrestaShop admin, go to Modules > Module Manager, find the Product Designer module, and note the displayed version number. Alternatively, check the module's main PHP file for a version constant or the module's config.xmlAffected if The installed version is lower than 1.178.36
-
Verify ajaxProcessCropImage endpoint is accessibleCheck if the route or action for ajaxProcessCropImage is exposed in the module's front controller or AJAX processing code. Look for any publicly accessible URL endpoint that calls this method (often in a file like controllers/front/ajax.php or similar)Affected if The ajaxProcessCropImage method is accessible via a public or authenticated web endpoint
-
Test for directory traversal vulnerabilityIf you have access to test the functionality, attempt to send a request to the ajaxProcessCropImage endpoint with a manipulated path parameter containing ../../ sequences (e.g., ../../config/settings.inc.php) to see if the application allows accessing files outside the intended directoryAffected if The application accepts path traversal sequences and returns content from files outside the designated web directory
You are affected if the Tunis Soft (Prestalife) Product Designer module is installed with a version lower than 1.178.36 and the ajaxProcessCropImage functionality is exposed and accepts unsanitized path parameters.

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 · scoped1.178.36
Upgrade to Product Designer module version 1.178.36 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, implement strict input validation on file path parameters in ajaxProcessCropImage() to reject traversal sequences and whitelist allowed directory paths.
Upgrade to Product Designer version 1.178.36 or later
- 1. Backup your PrestaShop database and files before making any changes
- 2. Navigate to the PrestaShop back office modules management section
- 3. Locate the 'Product Designer' module by Tunis Soft
- 4. Update the module to version 1.178.36 or later
- 5. Verify the update was successful by checking the module version in the modules list
- 6. Clear any PrestaShop caches if applicable
- 7. Test the ajaxProcessCropImage() functionality to ensure normal operation
