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 Authorization vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. A low-privileged attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures to view and edit low-sensitivity information. 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 confidence

Adobe Commerce contains an improper authorization vulnerability where low-privileged authenticated users can bypass security controls to view and edit low-sensitivity information. The vulnerability stems from missing or insufficient authorization checks on certain admin actions or API endpoints, allowing users with limited permissions to access functionality beyond their intended access level.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied security patch or update to a non-vulnerable Adobe Commerce version (2.4.7-p2, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.5-p9, or 2.4.4-p10 or later). Review user role permissions and access control configurations after applying the update.

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 installed Adobe Commerce or Magento version
    Run 'php bin/magento --version' from the Magento root directory, or check the version in the admin panel under System > Settings, or inspect the composer.lock file for magento/product-community-edition
    Affected if Version is 2.4.3 or earlier, 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, or 2.4.7 (not patched versions like 2.4.4-p10, 2.4.5-p9, 2.4.6-p7, or 2.4.7-p2)
  2. Review user roles and permission configurations
    Log into the admin panel and navigate to System > Permissions > User Roles to enumerate existing roles, or query the authorization_role and authorization_rule database tables
    Affected if Users with limited or custom roles exist in the system
  3. Verify admin API endpoint access controls
    Inspect the webapi.xml and acl.xml configuration files in app/code or vendor modules to identify API endpoints, then test whether low-privileged users can access endpoints beyond their assigned permissions
    Affected if API endpoints or admin actions lack proper role-based authorization checks for the configured user roles

Your environment is affected if the installed Adobe Commerce or Magento version falls within the vulnerable range AND low-privileged authenticated users exist with potential unauthorized access to admin functionality.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

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.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 2.4.3
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied security patch or update to a non-vulnerable Adobe Commerce version (2.4.7-p2, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.5-p9, or 2.4.4-p10 or later). Review user role permissions and access control configurations after applying the update.

Recommended fix High confidence

Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 or version-specific patch releases (2.4.4-p10, 2.4.5-p9, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.7-p2)

  1. 1. Identify your current Adobe Commerce/Magento version and patch level (e.g., 2.4.6-p5)
  2. 2. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.4: Upgrade to 2.4.4-p10 or later
  3. 3. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.5: Upgrade to 2.4.5-p9 or later
  4. 4. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.6: Upgrade to 2.4.6-p7 or later
  5. 5. For Adobe Commerce 2.4.7: Upgrade to 2.4.7-p2 or later, or to 2.4.8
  6. 6. For Magento Open Source (if applicable): Apply equivalent patches or upgrade to corresponding Adobe Commerce versions
  7. 7. After upgrade, verify the installation using bin/magento --version
  8. 8. Test that the authorization bypass is no longer exploitable in a non-production environment
Caveat Review Adobe Commerce upgrade notes for potential breaking changes between minor versions; test thoroughly in staging environment before production deployment
