CVE-2026-23498 is a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) affecting Shopware, an open commerce platform. It stems from a regression of CVE-2023-2017 in versions 6.7.0.0 through 6.7.6.0, where an array-crafted PHP Closure is not properly checked against an allow list in the map(...) override function. The issue has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2026-01-14.

An authenticated attacker with high privileges, such as an administrator, can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows high-impact compromise, including unauthorized access to sensitive data (C:H), modification of system integrity (I:H), and disruption of availability (A:H), potentially leading to full server control within the affected scope.

Shopware's security advisory (GHSA-7cw6-7h3h-v8pf) and the fixing commit (3966b05590e29432b8485ba47b4fcd14dd0b8475) confirm the vulnerability is patched in version 6.7.6.1. Security practitioners should prioritize upgrading affected Shopware instances to 6.7.6.1 or later to mitigate the risk.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
