Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 3 Mar 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Upgrade to PrestaShop version 9.0 or later once the vendor releases a patch addressing this vulnerability. 2. In the interim, restrict access to the affected module's functionalities by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure. 3. Review and harden access control policies within the PrestaShop installation, ensuring that only authorized users can invoke uploadLogo() and postProcess methods. 4. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to these methods, including unexpected file uploads or privilege escalations. 5. Disable or remove the 'Account Manager - Sales Representative & Dealers - CRM' module if it is not essential to business operations. 6. Conduct a thorough audit of user privileges and sensitive data access to detect any unauthorized disclosures. 7. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block exploitation attempts targeting these methods. 8. Educate administrators and developers about secure coding practices to prevent improper privilege management in custom modules.

Description

An issue was discovered in Presta World "Account Manager - Sales Representative & Dealers - CRM" (prestasalesmanager) module for PrestaShop before version 9.0, allows remote attackers to escalate privilege and obtain sensitive information via the uploadLogo() and postProcess methods.

Impact

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges without authentication, potentially exposing sensitive business and customer information managed through the Presta World sales representative and dealer CRM module. This can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, undermining customer privacy and business confidentiality. While the vulnerability does not affect data integrity or system availability directly, the exposure of sensitive information can facilitate further attacks, fraud, or competitive intelligence gathering. Organizations relying on PrestaShop with this module are at risk of data breaches that could damage reputation, incur regulatory penalties, and cause financial losses. The ease of exploitation and network accessibility increase the likelihood of attacks, especially in environments where the module is publicly accessible. The absence of known exploits currently limits immediate widespread impact but does not reduce the urgency for mitigation.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
