CVE-2025-24417
Published: 11 February 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-24417 is a high-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Adobe Commerce. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Browser Session Hijacking (T1185); ranked in the top 19.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-15 (Information Output Filtering).
Deeper analysis
Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.8-beta1, 2.4.7-p3, 2.4.6-p8, 2.4.5-p10, 2.4.4-p11 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-24417. The flaw, assigned CWE-79, resides in form fields that fail to sanitize input, allowing malicious scripts to be persisted and later executed in other users' browsers. It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.7 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and low-privileged access combined with changed scope and high confidentiality and integrity consequences.
A low-privileged attacker with the ability to supply data through the affected fields can store JavaScript payloads that execute when a higher-privileged victim views the page. Successful exploitation enables session takeover, giving the attacker the victim's privileges and thereby elevating both confidentiality and integrity impact to high while leaving availability unaffected.
The official Adobe advisory at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb25-08.html details the affected releases and corresponding patches or upgrades that remediate the issue. The associated EPSS score remains low at 0.0132 with no material increase since disclosure.
