Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-184: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs, where the product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete. 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.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Wrong usage of the PHP `array_search()` allows bypass of validation. ### Patches The problem has been patched in versions: - v4.4.1 for PrestaShop 1.7 (build number: 7.4.4.1) - v4.4.1 for PrestaShop 8 (build number: 8.4.4.1) - v5.0.5 for PrestaShop 1.7 (build number: 7.5.0.5) - v5.0.5 for PrestaShop 8 (build number: 8.5.0.5) - v5.0.5 for PrestaShop 9 (build number: 9.5.0.5) Read the [Versioning policy](https://github.com/PrestaShopCorp/ps_checkout/wiki/Versioning) to learn more about the build number. ### Credits [Léo CUNÉAZ](https://github.com/inem0o) reported this issue.
