Admin command execution via XSLT PHP functions
Published Feb 16, 2024 · Updated Mar 26, 2025
XSLT injection in FireBear Studio Improved Import & Export 3.8.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The Import Jobs XSLT Configuration processes a supplied stylesheet that invokes PHP functions, allowing php:function to call shell_exec with attacker-chosen commands. Administrative Magento access and an XML import job are required; successful exploitation runs shell commands with the web server account's privileges.
