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 the Adobe Commerce or Magento versionRun the command: php bin/magento --version or check the composer.json file in the Magento root directory for the version entryAffected if The installed version is 2.4.8, 2.4.7-p5, 2.4.6-p10, 2.4.5-p12, 2.4.4-p13, or any earlier 2.4.x version, or if using B2B extensions version 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.4.2, or 1.5.2
-
Confirm the product typeCheck if the installation includes Adobe Commerce B2B functionality by reviewing the installed modules via: php bin/magento module:status | grep -i b2bAffected if Adobe Commerce B2B versions 1.3.3 through 1.5.2 are installed alongside the core Adobe Commerce platform
-
Verify network exposure of admin panelReview web server configuration and firewall rules to determine if the Magento admin panel (/admin or custom admin path) is accessible from untrusted networksAffected if The admin panel or any storefront endpoint handling authorization-sensitive operations is exposed to the internet without IP restrictions or VPN wrapping
-
Review custom authorization logicInspect any custom modules in app/code or third-party extensions in vendor/ for overrides of: \Magento\Framework\AuthorizationInterface or ACL XML files in etc/acl.xmlAffected if Custom authorization extensions are in use that may interact with the vulnerable authorization bypass path
Your environment is affected if Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source version 2.4.4 through 2.4.8 (or corresponding B2B versions) is installed and the admin panel or authorization-sensitive endpoints are network-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 · scopedApply the vendor-provided security patch for this authorization bypass vulnerability to all affected Adobe Commerce installations. Verify that custom authorization logic and third-party extensions remain functional after patching.
Adobe Commerce/Magento 2.4.8 (or apply security patch p13/p12/p10/p5 for versions 2.4.4/2.4.5/2.4.6/2.4.7 respectively)
