CVE-2023-29297Network attack vector

Arbitrary code execution via stored XSS cache poisoning

Published Jun 15, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025

Stored XSS in Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with admin privileges to execute arbitrary code. The CNA identifies cache poisoning, while Adobe classifies the flaw as stored XSS but does not disclose the affected code path or unsafe template operation. Administrative credentials are required; exploitation needs no user interaction and grants code execution in the server context.
