MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated account on the target Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source, or Commerce B2B instance (PR:L), but no user interaction and no elevated privileges. The flaw is an incorrect authorization check (CWE-863) that fails to properly restrict access, so once authenticated at any low level an attacker can reach the vulnerable functionality remotely over the network (AV:N/AC:L). Affected deployments are unpatched instances in the 2.4.4 through 2.4.9 lines (and Commerce B2B 1.3.x-1.5.x) prior to the August 2026 patches; the specific feature or endpoint carrying the broken check is not detailed in the advisory. The main limiting factor is the need for a valid low-privileged account rather than fully anonymous access. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L, base 8.3 HIGH) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw needing only low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality and integrity impact with limited availability disruption. However, the other signals temper this: EPSS is only 0.35% (28th percentile), and CISA's SSVC framework rates Exploitation as 'none', Automatable 'no', and Technical Impact 'partial' - all pointing to low current real-world exploitation pressure. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code. The gap between a high 8.3 base score and the weak exploitation/EPSS/SSVC signals indicates this is a genuinely impactful authorization flaw that is NOT yet a widespread active threat - a patch-during-normal-cycle priority rather than an emergency, with the caveat that Magento/Adobe Commerce storefronts are a historically favored, heavily-targeted attacker ecosystem, so the low EPSS could rise once technical details or exploits circulate. The PR:L requirement (a low-privileged account, e.g. a registered customer or B2B company user) is the key real-world limiter. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged attacker who holds or registers an ordinary account (such as a customer or B2B portal user) on an Adobe Commerce/Magento storefront sends crafted requests to an endpoint with an incorrect authorization check, bypassing the intended access controls without any user interaction. This grants unauthorized read and write access to data or functionality beyond the account's privilege level, with a limited impact on availability. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Incorrect authorization checks in Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source, and Commerce B2B allow a low-privileged authenticated attacker to bypass security controls and gain unauthorized read and write access to protected data, with limited disruption to availability. Affected deployments are unpatched instances in the 2.4.4 through 2.4.9 lines (and Commerce B2B 1.3.x through 1.5.x) prior to the August 2026 patches; exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account (PR:L), is network-reachable and low-complexity (AV:N/AC:L), and requires no user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.3 HIGH (C:H/I:H/A:L); EPSS is 0.35% (28th percentile), SSVC lists exploitation as none, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Incorrect Authorization in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to bypass security controls over the network without user interaction, gaining unauthorized read access and high-integrity write access across affected store resources. The vulnerability covers a wide span of actively supported release lines - Adobe Commerce 2.4.4 through 2.4.9, Magento Open Source 2.4.6 through 2.4.9, and Adobe Commerce B2B 1.3.3 through 1.5.3 - making the exposure broad for merchants who have not applied August 2026 security patches. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the high integrity impact (I:H) is particularly concerning for e-commerce environments where unauthorized write access could affect orders, pricing, or customer records.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: apply the August 2026 security releases - Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source 2.4.9-2026-aug, 2.4.8-2026-aug, 2.4.7-2026-aug, and 2.4.6-2026-aug, plus 2.4.5-2026-aug and 2.4.4-2026-aug for Adobe Commerce, and Adobe Commerce B2B 1.5.3-2026-aug, 1.5.2-2026-aug, 1.4.2-2026-aug, 1.3.4-2026-aug, and 1.3.3-2026-aug - as described in Adobe bulletin APSB26-92 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb26-92.html). Until these patches are deployed, compensating controls should focus on the low-privileged authenticated prerequisite: audit and prune user accounts, revoke or downgrade unused customer and admin roles (note this can disrupt legitimate B2B buyer or integration workflows), enforce strong authentication and rate limiting on login endpoints, and restrict network access to administration and B2B endpoints by IP allowlisting at the WAF or reverse proxy (a change that will block legitimate remote staff and integrations). Because no public exploit code was identified and SSVC rates exploitation as none, emergency workarounds are not required, but the August 2026 patch should be scheduled as a standard maintenance priority given the HIGH 8.3 base score and high confidentiality/integrity impact; patched releases should be validated in staging first as they touch authorization logic that can affect storefront and B2B permission behavior.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an instance of CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization, in Adobe's PHP-based commerce platform (Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source, and the Commerce B2B module). In this class of defect, an endpoint or service applies an authorization check that is present but wrong - for example, validating that a caller is logged in without validating that the caller holds the role or resource-level permission required for the requested action - so a request that should be rejected is instead processed. Because the failing check sits in application-level access control rather than in authentication itself, the attacker must already hold a valid low-privileged session (as reflected by PR:L in the assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L); no elevated role and no victim interaction are needed once that account exists. The impact scope is unchanged (S:U), with high confidentiality and integrity loss and reduced availability, which is consistent with logic-level read/write access to commerce data such as customer records, orders, or administrative configuration rather than a full host compromise. The advisory does not identify the specific feature or endpoint carrying the broken check, and the CPE data shows the vulnerability tracked against Adobe Commerce 2.4.4 at patch levels p1 through p18, indicating the broken authorization logic persists across that patch stream and is only corrected by the August 2026 releases.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
Adobe Commerce is affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. A low-privileged attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized read and write access, causing a limited disruption to availability. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
Executive ViewAI
Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source, and Commerce B2B deployments on the 2.4.4 through 2.4.9 lines and Commerce B2B 1.3.x through 1.5.x contain a HIGH-severity authorization flaw (CVSS 8.3) that lets anyone holding a valid low-privileged account read and write protected data - customer, order, and catalog records - across the platform. Because the weakness is network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated at the network layer but available to any existing low-privileged login, the realistic risk comes from the large standing population of such accounts (contractors, integration partners, marketplace sellers, and compromised customer credentials) rather than from outside attackers, making this primarily a data-confidentiality and data-integrity exposure rather than an outage risk. No vendor-released patch was identified at the time of analysis and no public exploit code has been identified, so leadership should treat this as a time-bound governance and account-hygiene issue to be mitigated while awaiting Adobe's next scheduled patch cycle.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: enforce strict least privilege and remove write permissions from low-privileged roles; inventory, disable, and rotate dormant, shared, and integration accounts and API tokens; restrict admin panel and API access to trusted IP ranges or VPN; deploy WAF/reverse-proxy rules and rate limiting to detect and throttle bulk read or write behavior; enable and monitor access and audit logging with alerting on anomalous data access; and restrict or segment affected deployments until a vendor patch is released.
