CVE-2023-50029Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via predictable template token

Published Jun 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Code injection in PrestaShop M4 PDF Extensions before 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP via HTTP requests. M4PDF::saveTemplate() accepts attacker-controlled action_target and editor_content values through the public module front controller, relying only on a predictable token before writing executable PHP. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation permits arbitrary code execution in the store's server context.
