How to Fix CVE-2023-25170

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Prestashop/prestashop dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

prestashop/prestashop fixed: 8.0.1 
Upgrade prestashop/prestashop to 8.0.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for prestashop/prestashop

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-25170, inspect your project dependencies for Prestashop/prestashop:

inspect dependencies for prestashop/prestashop

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Prestashop/prestashop in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.0.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Prestashop/prestashop, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact When authenticating users PrestaShop preserves session attributes. Because this does not clear CSRF tokens upon login, this might enables `same-site attackers` to bypass the CSRF protection mechanism by performing an attack similar to a session-fixation. ### Patches The problem is fixed in version 8.0.1
