Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.9-beta1, 2.4.8-p4, 2.4.7-p9, 2.4.6-p14, 2.4.5-p16, 2.4.4-p17 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust system resources, resulting in an application denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Adobe Commerce (Magento) versions 2.4.9-beta1, 2.4.8-p4, 2.4.7-p9, 2.4.6-p14, 2.4.5-p16, 2.4.4-p17 and earlier lets a remote attacker exhaust system resources and force an application-level denial-of-service without any authentication or user interaction. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.5 (availability-only) rating and, per Adobe's APSB26-49 advisory, affects the e-commerce platform's server-side request handling. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score is very low (0.04%, 12th percentile), indicating no observed exploitation activity to date.
Technical ContextAI
Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento) is a widely deployed PHP-based e-commerce platform running on the Magento application framework, typically behind Apache/nginx with MySQL/MariaDB and often Elasticsearch/OpenSearch and Redis. The root cause is CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption): a code path fails to bound the CPU, memory, connections, or other finite resources it allocates while processing attacker-supplied input, so a relatively cheap request can cause disproportionate server-side work. The single CPE (cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_commerce:*) confirms the vulnerability is in the Adobe Commerce application itself rather than a bundled third-party dependency, though Adobe has not published the specific vulnerable component or endpoint.
RemediationAI
Apply the security update from Adobe advisory APSB26-49 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb26-49.html), which supersedes each listed vulnerable patch level - upgrade to the next available patch release for your branch (e.g. beyond 2.4.8-p4, 2.4.7-p9, 2.4.6-p14, 2.4.5-p16, or 2.4.4-p17); consult APSB26-49 for the exact fixed version corresponding to your line, as the specific fix version is not enumerated in the available data. Patch available per vendor advisory (Adobe APSB26-49). Because the attack is unauthenticated network-based resource exhaustion, effective compensating controls until patching include placing a WAF or reverse proxy in front of the storefront to rate-limit and throttle requests, enforcing per-IP connection and request-rate caps at the load balancer, and tuning PHP-FPM/web server timeouts and memory_limit to fail individual requests fast rather than starving the pool - with the trade-off that aggressive rate limits can degrade legitimate high-traffic events such as sales. Monitor CPU/memory and 5xx error spikes to detect exploitation attempts.
