CVE-2024-49521
📋 TL;DR
Adobe Commerce versions 3.2.5 and earlier contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows low-privileged attackers to send crafted requests from the vulnerable server to internal systems. This can bypass security measures like firewalls and potentially access internal resources. The vulnerability affects Adobe Commerce installations running vulnerable versions.

Worst Case
Attacker accesses sensitive internal systems, exfiltrates data, or performs lateral movement within the network by bypassing firewall protections.
Likely Case
Attacker probes internal network, accesses metadata services, or interacts with internal APIs to gather information or perform limited actions.
If Mitigated
Requests are blocked by network segmentation, internal firewalls, or proper input validation, limiting impact to reconnaissance only.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated low-privileged access. No user interaction needed once access is obtained.
