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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

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 29 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity 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.

What to do

Upgrade core and shopware/shopware to 6.7.8.1 or 6.6.10.15; platform to 6.7.8.1 or 6.6.10.14.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-31888, organizations should promptly upgrade Shopware core to versions 6.7.8.1 or 6.6.10.15 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by unifying error responses in the Store API login endpoint. Until upgrades can be applied, administrators can implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Introduce custom middleware or API gateway rules to normalize error responses from the Store API login endpoint, ensuring identical responses regardless of email validity. 2) Implement rate limiting and IP throttling on login attempts to reduce the feasibility of large-scale enumeration attacks. 3) Monitor logs for unusual login request patterns indicative of enumeration attempts. 4) Educate customers about phishing risks and encourage strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication where supported. 5) Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block enumeration behavior targeting the Store API. These targeted measures complement the essential upgrade to patched Shopware versions to fully remediate the vulnerability.

Description

CVE-2026-31888 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Shopware core versions prior to 6.7.8.1 and 6.6.10.15. It arises from an observable response discrepancy in the Store API login endpoint, which returns different error codes and messages depending on whether an email address is registered or not. This behavior allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid customer accounts by probing email addresses. The storefront login controller does not exhibit this flaw, indicating inconsistent error handling between components.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-31888 is information disclosure through account enumeration. Attackers can identify valid customer email addresses on affected Shopware installations, which can be leveraged for targeted phishing campaigns, social engineering, or credential stuffing attacks using leaked or commonly used passwords. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise account credentials or system integrity, the leaked information lowers the attacker's effort and increases the likelihood of successful subsequent attacks. For e-commerce platforms relying on Shopware, this can lead to reputational damage, customer trust erosion, and potential financial losses if attackers exploit enumerated accounts. Additionally, attackers may use enumerated emails to craft convincing spear-phishing emails or attempt account takeover attacks. The vulnerability affects all organizations using vulnerable Shopware core versions worldwide, especially those with large customer bases or sensitive customer data. No direct availability or data integrity impact is present, but the indirect risks to confidentiality and customer security are significant.

CWE-204Observable Response Discrepancy (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
Implementation
Ensure that error messages only contain minimal details that are useful to the intended audience and no one else. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic (which can confuse users) or being too detailed (which may reveal more than intended).
