Background
Magento Community Edition is a widely used open-source e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create and manage online stores. It offers a range of features including product management, customer management, and order processing. However, certain versions of Magento are vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, which can compromise the security of the application and its data.
Vulnerability Detail
Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.7-beta1 and earlier, 2.4.6-p2 and earlier, 2.4.5-p4 and earlier, and 2.4.4-p5 and earlier are affected by an SQL Injection vulnerability. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an authenticated attacker with admin privileges to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation does not require user interaction, but it does require advanced knowledge of SQL and the application's tooling, making the attack complex.
