CVE-2024-45148
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-p2, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.5-p9, 2.4.4-p10 and earlier are affected by an Improper Authentication vulnerability that could result in a security feature bypass. A low-privileged attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access without proper credentials. 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 · moderate confidenceAdobe Commerce contains an improper authentication vulnerability that allows a security feature bypass. Low-privileged attackers can gain unauthorized access to the application without proper credentials, and no user interaction is required for exploitation.

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 installation versionRun the command `php bin/magento --version` from the Adobe Commerce/Magento root directory, or inspect the `composer.json` file for the `version` fieldAffected if The installed version is any version prior to 2.4.7-p2, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.5-p9, or 2.4.4-p10, or matches 2.3.7, 2.4.0-2.4.7, or falls within the 'all versions' range without a security patch applied
-
Confirm Adobe Commerce B2B extension version if usedRun `php bin/magento module:status` to list enabled modules and check for B2B-related modules, or review `composer.json` for `magento/module-b2b` versionAffected if The B2B extension version is 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, or 1.4.2 without corresponding security patches applied
-
Review admin panel access controlsNavigate to Stores > Settings > Configuration > Advanced > Admin in the admin dashboard, or inspect the `app/etc/env.php` file for admin URL and authentication settingsAffected if The admin panel or related API endpoints are accessible without additional authentication layers or IP restrictions beyond default Magento authentication
-
Audit exposed API endpointsInspect `app/etc/webapi.xml` or check the `/rest/` and `/soap/` endpoint directories, and review `nginx.conf` or `.htaccess` for proxy configurations that may expose these endpointsAffected if REST or SOAP API endpoints are accessible externally without require_http_types or authentication token validation configured
The environment is affected if running any unpatched Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, or Magento version, particularly where admin or API endpoints are externally accessible.

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 · scopedUpdate Adobe Commerce to the latest patched version beyond 2.4.7-p2, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.5-p9, or 2.4.4-p10 as provided by Adobe's official security advisories.
Apply security patch for your current version line: 2.4.4-p10, 2.4.5-p9, 2.4.6-p7, or 2.4.7-p2
- 1. Identify current Adobe Commerce/Magento version by checking the composer.json file or running: bin/magento --version
- 2. Navigate to the Adobe Security Bulletin for this CVE at helpx.adobe.com/security bulleting
- 3. Download the appropriate security patch for your installed version (2.4.4-p10, 2.4.5-p9, 2.4.6-p7, or 2.4.7-p2)
- 4. Apply the patch following Adobe's standard patch application process: composer install, then apply the patch file
- 5. Clear the Magento cache: bin/magento cache:clean
- 6. Verify the patch was applied successfully by checking the version again
- 7. Test critical authentication flows to confirm the vulnerability is remediated
