Adobe Commerce Improper Access Control Security feature bypass

Vulnerability

Overview CVE-2023-22250 is an improper access control vulnerability in Adobe Commerce affecting versions 2.4.4-p2 and earlier, and 2.4.5-p1 and earlier. The flaw allows an attacker to bypass security features, leading to a denial-of-service condition on a minor user feature. No user interaction is required for exploitation [1].

Attack

Vector and Prerequisites The vulnerability stems from insufficient access controls, enabling an unauthenticated attacker to trigger the bypass remotely. Because no authentication or user interaction is needed, the attack can be automated and executed at scale. The exact mechanism is not detailed in public sources, but the impact is limited to the availability of a minor feature, not core functionality [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation results in a security feature bypass that degrades the availability of a non-critical user feature. This could disrupt specific operations but does not compromise sensitive data or allow full system compromise. The CVSS score has not been published by NVD at the time of this analysis [1].

Mitigation

Adobe has not released specific patch information in the available references. Users running affected versions should upgrade to the latest Adobe Commerce release to obtain the fix. As a general security practice, applying the most recent security updates is recommended.
