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
Shopper is a Headless e-commerce Admin Panel. Prior to 2.8.0, two distinct authorization defects in the team settings allowed any authenticated panel user to take over the RBAC system. Settings/Team/Index had no mount() authorization. Any authenticated user could load the page and use its public actions to create new roles and delete other users, including administrators. Settings/Team/RolePermission gated its write actions on the read-only view_users permission. Any user holding view_users could grant themselves or any other user arbitrary permissions, including manage_users and edit_orders, effectively escalating to full panel administrator from a read-only account. Combined, these two defects allow a low-privilege authenticated user to obtain administrator privileges and remove the legitimate administrators from the panel. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.0.

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

Shopper Admin Panel versions before 2.8.0 had two critical authorization flaws: Settings/Team/Index lacked mount() authorization allowing any authenticated user to create roles and delete admins, and Settings/Team/RolePermission improperly gated write actions on a read-only view_users permission, enabling privilege escalation to full administrator.

MitigationUpgrade to Shopper version 2.8.0 immediately. Additionally, audit all user accounts and role assignments for unauthorized privilege escalation, as the vulnerability may have been exploited.

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. Check installed Shopper Admin Panel version
    Locate the Shopper version file or check the package.json/version manifest in your Shopper installation directory. Common paths include the root directory or a config/version file.
    Affected if Version is present and less than 2.8.0 (for example, 2.7.x, 2.6.x, etc.)
  2. Verify Settings/Team/Index authorization configuration
    Examine the controller or route handler for the Settings/Team/Index endpoint. Look for mount() or similar authorization middleware that should gate access to role creation and admin deletion functions.
    Affected if No mount() authorization check is present, or the authorization check is missing/commented out for this endpoint
  3. Test RolePermission endpoint access control
    Inspect the RolePermission permission logic. Determine whether write operations (create role, modify permissions, delete admin) are incorrectly gated behind the view_users permission rather than a dedicated write permission.
    Affected if Write actions on the RolePermission endpoint are allowed when the user only possesses the read-only view_users permission
  4. Confirm low-privilege user escalation path
    Using a test account with minimal permissions (non-admin), attempt to access Settings/Team/Index to create a new role with elevated privileges or to delete an existing administrator account.
    Affected if A user with only basic/authenticated privileges can successfully create administrator roles or remove other admin users through these endpoints

Your environment is affected if the installed Shopper Admin Panel version is below 2.8.0 AND the Settings/Team/Index and RolePermission endpoints lack proper authorization controls, allowing any authenticated user to escalate privileges or remove administrators.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade to Shopper version 2.8.0 immediately. Additionally, audit all user accounts and role assignments for unauthorized privilege escalation, as the vulnerability may have been exploited.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.8.0

  1. 1. Back up your current Shopper Admin Panel installation and database before proceeding with any upgrade.
  2. 2. Review the Shopper 2.8.0 release notes and changelog to understand any changes from your current version.
  3. 3. Update your Shopper installation to version 2.8.0 or later using your package manager (e.g., composer update or npm install depending on your setup).
  4. 4. Run any database migrations that come with the 2.8.0 release.
  5. 5. Verify that the authorization fixes are in place by checking that Settings/Team/Index requires proper mount() authorization and Settings/Team/RolePermission properly gates write actions.
  6. 6. Test the application to ensure normal functionality works as expected after the upgrade.
  7. 7. Review user accounts and roles to ensure no unauthorized privilege escalation occurred before the fix.
