prestashop/ps_checkout fixed: 4.4.1 
Upgrade prestashop/ps_checkout to 4.4.1
prestashop/ps_checkout fixed: 5.0.5 
Upgrade prestashop/ps_checkout to 5.0.5
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/ps_checkout

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-61923, inspect your project dependencies for Prestashop/ps checkout:

inspect dependencies for prestashop/ps_checkout

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Prestashop/ps checkout in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.4.1), your application is affected.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Prestashop/ps checkout, 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.
