CVE-2025-69633
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 · uneditedA SQL Injection vulnerability in the Advanced Popup Creator (advancedpopupcreator) module for PrestaShop 1.1.26 through 1.2.6 (Fixed in version 1.2.7) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via the fromController parameter in the popup controller. The parameter is passed unsanitized to SQL queries in classes/AdvancedPopup.php (getPopups() and updateVisits() functions).

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.
-
Locate the Advanced Popup Creator moduleCheck if the module directory exists in your PrestaShop installation under modules/ (common paths: modules/advancedpopupcreator, modules/advanced_popup_creator, or similar)Affected if The module directory exists and contains the Advanced Popup Creator files
-
Identify the module versionOpen the module's main PHP file or config.xml and look for a version declaration (often in a $this->version variable or <version> tag)Affected if The installed version falls within 1.1.26 through 1.2.6 (inclusive)
-
Verify the vulnerable file existsConfirm the presence of classes/AdvancedPopup.php within the module directoryAffected if The file exists and contains the getPopups() and updateVisits() functions
-
Check if the module is enabledIn the PrestaShop admin panel, navigate to Modules > Module Manager and verify the Advanced Popup Creator status, or query the ps_module database table for the module's active statusAffected if The module is installed and enabled (active)
-
Confirm the fromController parameter handlingInspect the getPopups() and updateVisits() functions in classes/AdvancedPopup.php for direct use of the fromController request parameter in SQL queries without sanitizationAffected if The code directly passes $_POST['fromController'] or similar unsanitized input into SQL queries
You are affected if the Advanced Popup Creator module is installed with a version between 1.1.26 and 1.2.6, the vulnerable file exists, and the module is enabled with unsanitized fromController parameter usage in the codebase.

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 · scopedUpgrade the module to version 1.2.7 or later. As an interim measure, deploy WAF rules or request filtering to block SQL injection payloads in the fromController parameter until the patch can be applied.
1.2.7
- 1. Identify the Advanced Popup Creator module installation directory in your PrestaShop modules folder
- 2. Download the latest version 1.2.7 or later of the Advanced Popup Creator module from the official source (addons.prestashop.com)
- 3. Backup your current module installation and database before proceeding
- 4. Upload and install the updated module version 1.2.7
- 5. Clear the PrestaShop cache (var/cache/ or via admin panel)
- 6. Verify the fix by confirming the fromController parameter is now properly sanitized in classes/AdvancedPopup.php (getPopups and updateVisits functions)
