Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Magento/community edition, 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

Magento Open Source versions 2.4.7-p2, 2.4.6-p7, 2.4.5-p9, 2.4.4-p10 and earlier are affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code. If an admin attacker can trick a user into clicking a specially crafted link or submitting a form, malicious scripts may be executed within the context of the victim's browser and have high impact on confidentiality and integrity. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction.
