CVE-2020-5293Network attack vector

Unauthorized product-data access and modification via missing checks

Published Apr 20, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Improper access control in PrestaShop 1.7.0.0 through 1.7.6.4 allows remote authenticated users to read or modify restricted product data. The attachment, combination, and specific-price controller actions omit AdminSecurity checks before returning data or processing writes. A back-office account and user interaction are required; exploitation bypasses the account's product read or create/update permissions.
