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
Saleor is an e-commerce platform. From 3.14.67 until 3.21.67, 3.22.63, and 3.23.22, a broken authorization check in saleor/permission/utils.py can incorrectly authorize unauthenticated GraphQL requests. The flaw permits anonymous callers to use the channelUpdate() mutation to change channel order settings such as allowUnpaidOrders even when the response reports PermissionDenied. The same permission utility can expose hidden objects through the pageType() and translation() queries, including attributes whose visibleInStorefront field is false and that should be visible only to users with management permissions. This issue is fixed in versions 3.21.67, 3.22.63, and 3.23.22.

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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-285

The application confirms who you are but does not properly check whether you are permitted to perform a given action, so authenticated users reach functions or data meant for others. Attackers test roles and object references to find the gap. Remediation is an authorization check on every request, evaluated against the acting user's actual permissions.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to version 3.21.67, 3.22.63, or 3.23.22 (choose the release line matching your current major version)

  1. Determine your current Saleor installation method (Docker, pip, or git)
  2. For Docker: Pull the updated image with the fixed version tag (e.g., docker pull saleor/saleor:3.23.22)
  3. For pip: Run 'pip install saleor==3.23.22' or your specific version requirement
  4. Verify the upgrade by checking the saleor version after deployment
  5. Test the channelUpdate() mutation with an unauthenticated request to confirm the fix
  6. Test that pageType() and translation() queries properly filter hidden objects
Caveat Patch releases typically contain only bug fixes and security patches; minimal breaking changes expected

No vendor fix exists The vendor has not published a patch for this.

There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
