CVE-2024-34102
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 2.4.7, 2.4.6-p5, 2.4.5-p7, 2.4.4-p8 and earlier are affected by an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted XML document that references external entities. 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.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAdobe Commerce contains an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference (XXE) vulnerability in versions 2.4.7, 2.4.6-p5, 2.4.5-p7, 2.4.4-p8 and earlier. Attackers can exploit this by sending crafted XML documents that reference external entities, leading to arbitrary code execution without requiring any user interaction.

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 Adobe Commerce or Magento installed versionRun the CLI command 'php bin/magento --version' or check the composer.json file in the Magento root directory for the version entryAffected if The installed version matches 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, or 2.4.7
-
Identify Adobe Commerce Webhooks module versionRun 'composer show magento/module-webhooks' or check the composer.lock file for the installed version of the webhooks moduleAffected if The module version is >= 1.2.0 and < 1.5.0, or the module is present on an affected Adobe Commerce installation
-
Verify if XML input processing is enabledReview the web server configuration and application routing to determine if endpoints that accept XML data are accessible (common paths include /webhooks, /api, or custom XML import endpoints)Affected if The application accepts XML input through any exposed API or webhook endpoints without XML external entity processing being explicitly disabled
-
Check XML parser configurationInspect php.ini settings for 'libxml_disable_entity_loader' or review custom XML parser configurations in the codebase that handle XML processingAffected if The XML parser configuration allows external entity loading or has not been explicitly hardened to disable external entities
You are affected if your Adobe Commerce or Magento version is 2.4.2 through 2.4.7 (or the specific versions listed) and the system processes XML input through webhooks or other endpoints without external entity protection enabled.
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 · scoped1.5.0
Apply Adobe's official security patches for this vulnerability or upgrade to a patched version of Adobe Commerce (2.4.7-p1 or later). Review XML processing endpoints and disable external entity resolution as an additional hardening measure.
Upgrade to 2.4.7 (latest stable) or apply latest security patches: 2.4.4-p8, 2.4.5-p7, 2.4.6-p5
- 1. Identify the currently installed Adobe Commerce or Magento version by checking the admin panel or composer.json
- 2. For Magento/Commerce 2.4.4: Upgrade to patch level 2.4.4-p8 or migrate to 2.4.7
- 3. For Magento/Commerce 2.4.5: Upgrade to patch level 2.4.5-p7 or migrate to 2.4.7
- 4. For Magento/Commerce 2.4.6: Upgrade to patch level 2.4.6-p5 or migrate to 2.4.7
- 5. For Magento/Commerce 2.4.7: Ensure running the base 2.4.7 release (no patch needed)
- 6. For Commerce Webhooks extension (if installed): Upgrade to version 1.5.0 or later
- 7. Back up the database and filesystem before applying the upgrade
- 8. Run composer update to pull the new versions: composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.4.7 --no-update (adjust version based on your target)
