| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires HIGH privileges (CVSS PR:H) - the attacker must already hold an elevated/administrative Adobe Commerce account able to reach the vulnerable output path (the Webhooks Plugin being a distinctly listed affected component points to webhook/output rendering as the likely feature involved). No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the vector is network-reachable (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), so once privileged access exists the attack is straightforward. Limiting factors: the PR:H barrier means this is not exploitable by anonymous/unauthenticated internet users against a default install; SSVC marks Exploitation=none and Automatable=no, and there is no public exploit, so realistic risk is confined to insiders or post-compromise scenarios where an admin credential is already controlled. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to lower real-world urgency than the 9.1 base score suggests. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C, C:H/I:H/A:H) shows network reach and total impact but requires HIGH privileges (PR:H) - an already-authenticated admin/elevated account - which is a substantial barrier. SSVC reinforces this: Exploitation=none (no observed activity), Automatable=no (cannot be reliably scripted at scale), Technical Impact=total. EPSS is low (0.90%, 56th percentile), there is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified, so this is not an active, widespread threat. Net: a genuine total-impact RCE worth patching, but the PR:H requirement plus 'none/no' SSVC and low EPSS make it a priority insider/post-compromise risk rather than an internet-facing emergency. Note the scope-change flag implies impact beyond the vulnerable component; the exact downstream reach is not detailed in the source data and should be confirmed with Adobe's advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious or compromised administrator (or an attacker who has phished/hijacked a privileged Commerce back-office account) supplies content that is stored and later emitted without proper escaping - for example through a webhook or template field - causing the server to interpret it as code and execute it in the context of the current user. No victim interaction is needed (UI:N), and the changed scope means the executed code may reach components beyond the original entry point. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv3 – Jul 29, 2026
Arbitrary code execution in Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, Magento Open Source, and the Adobe Commerce Webhooks Plugin stems from improper output encoding/escaping (CWE-116) and lets a high-privileged attacker run code in the context of the current user with no user interaction. Because the scope is changed, exploitation can affect components beyond the initially vulnerable one, and Adobe rates it CVSS 9.1. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS is low (0.90%, 56th percentile), so risk is currently theoretical/targeted rather than mass-exploited.
Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
Remote code execution in Adobe Commerce (Magento) allows attackers to run arbitrary code in the context of the current user through an improper output encoding/escaping flaw (CWE-116), scored CVSS 10.0 with a changed scope. It affects Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, Magento Open Source, and the Adobe Commerce Webhooks Plugin across a wide range of versions up to 2.4.9 (and B2B up to 1.5.3). Exploitation requires no user interaction; per CVSS PR:N it is unauthenticated, though SSVC rates it as not automatable and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Arbitrary code execution in Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, and Magento Open Source arises from improper output encoding/escaping (CWE-116), letting a high-privilege attacker run code in the context of the current user with no user interaction and a scope change beyond the vulnerable component. Adobe rates it CVSS 9.1 and published fix guidance in advisory APSB26-73. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS was not provided.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patches per Adobe advisory APSB26-73 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb26-73.html): upgrade Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source to the 2026-jul patched builds (2.4.9-2026-jul, 2.4.8-2026-jul, 2.4.7-2026-jul, 2.4.6-2026-jul, and for Commerce also 2.4.5-2026-jul and 2.4.4-2026-jul), upgrade Adobe Commerce B2B to the corresponding 2026-jul builds (1.5.3-2026-jul, 1.5.2-2026-jul, 1.4.2-2026-jul, 1.3.4-2026-jul, 1.3.3-2026-jul), and upgrade the Adobe Commerce Webhooks Plugin to 1.21.0. If patching must be delayed, restrict and audit admin/high-privilege accounts since exploitation requires PR:H - enforce MFA on the admin panel, limit which operators can create or modify webhooks, and consider disabling the Webhooks Plugin if it is not in use (trade-off: outbound event integrations relying on it will stop firing). Because the fix references dated patched releases rather than a single tagged number, confirm the exact build for your deployment against APSB26-73.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento) is a PHP-based e-commerce platform; Magento Open Source is its free edition, Adobe Commerce B2B adds business-to-business features, and the Webhooks Plugin dispatches event-driven HTTP callbacks. The flaw is classed as CWE-116 (Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output), meaning data is emitted into an output context without proper neutralization, allowing attacker-controlled content to be interpreted as executable instructions rather than inert data. The CPE set (cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_commerce, adobe_commerce_b2b, magento_open_source, adobe_commerce_webhooks_plugin) confirms the Webhooks Plugin is a distinct affected component, consistent with the webhook/templating pipeline being a plausible sink for unescaped output that reaches a code-execution context.

Adobe Commerce is affected by an Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
Executive ViewAI
Adobe Commerce platforms face an unpatched critical vulnerability enabling authenticated attackers with administrative access to execute arbitrary code across the entire e-commerce environment. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the absence of a vendor patch creates sustained exposure for organizations processing transactions and managing customer data. Immediate access control and monitoring are essential to reduce dwell time before patching becomes available.
Enforce multi-factor authentication on all administrative roles; restrict admin console access via IP whitelist and network segmentation; implement real-time alerting on admin logins, privilege escalation, and configuration changes; disable unused administrative features; conduct internal audit of high-privilege account usage; establish daily monitoring of CISA and Adobe security advisories.
