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 2.4.7-p1, 2.4.6-p6, 2.4.5-p8, 2.4.4-p9 and earlier are affected by an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability that could lead in arbitrary code execution by an admin attacker. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction and scope is changed.

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

OS command injection vulnerability in Adobe Commerce (Magento) allowing an authenticated admin attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands through unsanitized input. The vulnerability affects versions 2.4.4-p9 and earlier through 2.4.7-p1 and requires user interaction for exploitation.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied security patches for the affected versions (2.4.4-p9, 2.4.5-p8, 2.4.6-p6, 2.4.7-p1 or later) or upgrade to a patched release. This is a critical vulnerability requiring immediate remediation due to the arbitrary code execution capability.

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. Determine installed Adobe Commerce or Magento version
    Access the admin panel and navigate to System > Configuration > Advanced > Admin > Admin Base URL, or check the composer.json file in the web root for the 'version' field, or run the CLI command: php bin/magento --version
    Affected if The installed version is 2.4.4-p9 or earlier, or any 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, or 2.4.7 version without the corresponding security patch (p8, p6, p1 respectively), or version 2.4.3 or earlier
  2. Confirm admin access is available
    Verify that the admin panel (/admin or custom admin path) is accessible and that user accounts with administrator privileges exist in the system
    Affected if An authenticated admin user account exists and can log into the admin panel, as exploitation requires a authenticated admin attacker
  3. Check for application-level input sanitization
    Review custom modules or third-party extensions that process user-supplied input and interact with system-level operations, as the vulnerability involves unsanitized input leading to OS command execution
    Affected if Any custom or third-party extension handles unsanitized input that could be passed to system shell commands without proper sanitization

The environment is affected if the installed Adobe Commerce or Magento version falls within the affected ranges (2.4.4-p9 and earlier through 2.4.7-p1) and an attacker can obtain admin authentication credentials to exploit the command injection.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 2.4.3
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied security patches for the affected versions (2.4.4-p9, 2.4.5-p8, 2.4.6-p6, 2.4.7-p1 or later) or upgrade to a patched release. This is a critical vulnerability requiring immediate remediation due to the arbitrary code execution capability.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.4.7-p2 or later (or latest 2.4.x release)

  1. 1. Identify your current Adobe Commerce or Magento version by checking the admin panel (System > Settings > General > Advanced > Admin) or running: bin/magento --version
  2. 2. Determine the appropriate upgrade target: For 2.4.4.x upgrade to 2.4.4-p10+, for 2.4.5.x upgrade to 2.4.5-p9+, for 2.4.6.x upgrade to 2.4.6-p7+, for 2.4.7.x upgrade to 2.4.7-p2 or later
  3. 3. Create a full backup of your database and files before upgrading
  4. 4. Put the store in maintenance mode: bin/magento maintenance:enable
  5. 5. Upgrade via Composer: composer require magento/product-community-edition:<version> --no-update (replace <version> with your target, e.g., 2.4.7-p2)
  6. 6. Run composer update to install the new packages
  7. 7. Clear the cache and regenerate the dependency injection configuration: bin/magento setup:upgrade
  8. 8. Compile the code: bin/magento setup:di:compile
Caveat Potential breaking changes include compatibility issues with third-party extensions, custom theme adjustments may be needed, and PHP version requirements may have changed - review Adobe Commerce upgrade notes before proceeding
