CVE-2024-41651
Published: 12 August 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-41651 is a high-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Prestashop Prestashop. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 3.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-41651 is an issue in PrestaShop versions 8.1.7 and earlier that permits remote code execution through the module upgrade functionality. It is tracked under CWE-918 and CWE-94 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Exploitation would allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to run arbitrary code on the server. Multiple parties dispute the vulnerability description, noting that any successful attack requires the ability to hijack network requests issued by an administrator, a user who is already authorized to alter running code on the server.
The single reference is a GitHub repository that appears to contain proof-of-concept material. No official advisories, patches, or mitigation steps are provided in the available data. The EPSS score stands at 0.3232 with no reported rise from a lower baseline.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Penetration testing attempts server-side requests to internal resources, identifying SSRF weaknesses for remediation.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Outbound connections to external resources can be monitored and limited at the boundary, reducing SSRF impact.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
Detects server-side request forgery through monitoring of unexpected outbound connections.
