CVE-2025-27191
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-p4, 2.4.6-p9, 2.4.5-p11, 2.4.4-p12, 2.4.8-beta2 and earlier are affected by an Improper Access Control vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access. 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 versions 2.4.7-p4 and earlier contain an Improper Access Control vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access without user interaction. The vulnerability stems from insufficient access control enforcement in the Commerce platform, potentially allowing privilege escalation or unauthorized actions on protected resources.

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 versionRun the CLI command 'php bin/magento --version' from the Magento root directory, or check the 'composer.json' file for the 'version' propertyAffected if The installed version is 2.4.8, 2.4.7, 2.4.6, 2.4.5, 2.4.4, or any version below 2.4.4
-
Identify Adobe Commerce B2B versionCheck the 'composer.json' file for 'adobe-commerce/b2b' package version, or run 'composer show adobe-commerce/b2b'Affected if The installed B2B version is 1.5.1, 1.4.2, 1.3.5, 1.3.4, 1.3.3, or any version below 1.3.3
-
Identify Magento Open Source versionRun 'php bin/magento --version' if using Magento Open Source, or check 'composer.json' for the metapackage versionAffected if The installed version is 2.4.8, 2.4.7, 2.4.6, 2.4.5, 2.4.4, or any version below 2.4.4
-
Check for existing security patchesReview the 'app/etc/patchesApplied.txt' file or check for recently applied security-related patches in the codebaseAffected if No specific patch for CVE-2025-27191 has been applied and the version falls within the affected range
-
Verify admin access control configurationReview admin role permissions in the admin panel under System > Permissions > User Roles to ensure least-privilege principles are enforcedAffected if The version is affected and broad permissions exist that could be exploited if the access control bypass is present
If the installed Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2b, or Magento Open Source version falls within the listed affected versions and no security patch has been applied, the environment is likely vulnerable to CVE-2025-27191.
