CVE-2025-24415 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in 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. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in certain form fields, allowing an attacker with low privileges to inject malicious JavaScript code that is persistently stored on the server. When other users or administrators access the affected pages containing the injected script, the malicious code executes in their browsers within the context of the vulnerable site. This can lead to session hijacking, enabling attackers to impersonate legitimate users, steal sensitive information, or perform unauthorized actions. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.7 indicates a high severity, with attack vector being network-based, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges, and user interaction. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the nature of stored XSS makes it a significant threat, especially for e-commerce platforms handling sensitive customer data and transactions. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. Adobe has not yet released patches, so mitigation currently relies on defensive controls and monitoring.

The exploitation of this stored XSS vulnerability can have severe consequences for organizations running affected versions of Adobe Commerce. Attackers can hijack user sessions, leading to unauthorized access to customer accounts, including personal and payment information. This undermines customer trust and can result in financial losses and regulatory penalties, especially under data protection laws like GDPR. The integrity of the e-commerce platform can be compromised, allowing attackers to manipulate displayed content or perform fraudulent transactions. Since Adobe Commerce is widely used globally for online retail, a successful attack could disrupt business operations and damage brand reputation. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation and the potential for widespread impact make it a critical concern for organizations relying on Adobe Commerce for their online storefronts.

Organizations should immediately review their Adobe Commerce deployments and restrict access to vulnerable form fields to trusted users only until patches are available. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data to prevent script injection. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. Monitor web application logs and user activity for signs of suspicious behavior indicative of XSS exploitation. Educate administrators and users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links or interacting with suspicious content. Once Adobe releases official patches, prioritize their deployment in all affected environments. Additionally, consider using web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting Adobe Commerce. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on input validation can help identify residual vulnerabilities.
