  "details" : "### Impact\n\nVersions of the Algolia Search & Discovery extension for Magento 2 prior to **3.17.2** and **3.16.2** contain a vulnerability where data read from the database was treated as a trusted source during job execution.\n\nIf an attacker is able to modify records used by the extension’s indexing queue, this could result in **arbitrary PHP code execution** when the affected job is processed.\n\nExploitation requires the ability to write malicious data to the Magento database and for the indexing queue to be enabled.\n\n---\n\n### Patches\n\nThis vulnerability has been fixed in the following versions:\n\n- **3.17.2**\n- **3.16.2**\n\nMerchants should upgrade to a supported patched version immediately.\n\nVersions outside the supported maintenance window do **not** receive security updates and remain vulnerable.\n\n---\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUpgrading to a patched version is the only recommended remediation.\n\nIf an immediate upgrade is not possible, the following temporary risk mitigations may reduce exposure:\n\n- Disable the Algolia indexing queue to prevent queued jobs from being executed.\n- Restrict job execution logic to an explicit allowlist of permitted operations.\n- Review the contents of the `algoliasearch_queue` table for unexpected or unrecognized entries.\n- If queue archiving is enabled, review historical records in `algoliasearch_queue_archive`.\n\nThese mitigations are provided as guidance only and do not replace upgrading to a patched version.\n\n---\n\n### References\n\n- Algolia Search & Discovery for Magento 2 releases:\n  - [3.16.2](https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-magento-2/releases/tag/3.16.2)\n  - [3.17.2](https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-magento-2/releases/tag/3.17.2)",
