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 installed Adobe Commerce or Magento versionRun 'php bin/magento --version' from the web root directory, or check the version in the admin panel under System > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > Version. For Adobe I/O Events, check the installed package version via 'composer show adobe-commerce/adobe-io-events' or check composer.json.Affected if The installed version matches exactly 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, 2.4.7, 2.4.8, or 2.4.9 for Adobe Commerce/Magento; or matches 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.4.2, 1.5.2, or 1.5.3 for Adobe Commerce B2b; or Adobe I/O Events version is >= 1.6.0 and < 1.21.0.
-
Confirm Adobe Commerce B2B module is installedCheck for the presence of the B2B module by examining the composer.json file for 'magento/module-b2b' or run 'php bin/magento module:status' and look for Magento_B2b in the output list.Affected if The B2B module is installed and its version matches 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.4.2, 1.5.2, or 1.5.3.
-
Verify if REST or GraphQL API endpoints are publicly accessibleTest access to common API endpoints without authentication: try GET requests to /rest/V1/products/1 or /graphql endpoint without providing authorization headers. Check the etc/webapi.xml configuration files to review which routes are defined with anonymous access.Affected if API endpoints that should require authentication are accessible without valid authorization tokens.
-
Inspect admin configuration for authorization settingsNavigate to Stores > Settings > Configuration > Security in the admin panel and verify the 'Admin Account Sharing' and 'Maximum Login Failures to Lock' settings. Check if any custom API role permissions grant broader access than intended under System > Permissions > API Roles.Affected if Authorization settings are misconfigured allowing unauthenticated or under-privileged access to sensitive operations.
-
Review Adobe I/O Events configuration if applicableIf Adobe I/O Events is installed, examine the configuration file app/etc/config.php for 'adobe_io_events' entry and check the events configuration in the admin panel under Stores > Configuration > Adobe I/O Events to see which event listeners are enabled.Affected if Adobe I/O Events is enabled and the version falls within the affected range.
You are affected if your installed Adobe Commerce, Magento, Commerce B2b, or Adobe I/O Events version exactly matches one of the versions listed in the affected versions, and unauthenticated API access is possible.
