CVE-2025-24434: Improper Authorization vulnerability in Magento and Adobe Commerce

Should you act?

High exploit likelihood

EPSS ranks it in the top 5% of all CVEs for likely exploitation in the next 30 days. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.

• No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
• EPSS 17.2%, percentile 97: FIRST’s model estimates a 17.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 97% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
• Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
• Only applies if your dependency tree includes magento/community-edition (Composer (PHP)) >= 2.4.8-beta1, < 2.4.8-beta2, fixed in 2.4.8-beta2; magento/community-edition (Composer (PHP)) >= 2.4.7-beta1, < 2.4.7-p4, fixed in 2.4.7-p4; magento/community-edition (Composer (PHP)) >= 2.4.6-p1, < 2.4.6-p9, fixed in 2.4.6-p9; magento/community-edition (Composer (PHP)) >= 2.4.5-p1, < 2.4.5-p11, fixed in 2.4.5-p11. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

What it is

Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.8-beta1, 2.4.7-p3, 2.4.6-p8, 2.4.5-p10, 2.4.4-p11 and earlier are affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in Privilege escalation. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. A successful attacker can abuse this to achieve session takeover, increasing the confidentiality and integrity impact as high.
