Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source vulnerability
Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source contain an XXE vulnerability allowing remote code execution. The flaw has been exploited in the wild.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
An improper restriction of XML external entity references in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source enables unauthenticated remote code execution. Active exploitation in the wild and high EPSS score indicate immediate risk to deployed instances.

01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreExploit available
Fully weaponized — public exploit code is cataloged for this vulnerability.We link the existence of the exploit; we do not host or redistribute payloads.
Reported exploitation
62 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2024-07-17).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.99991 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
CVSS 9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) · Affected: Adobe, Commerce and Magento Open Source. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.CVSS — CNA-assigned (CVE.org), version 3.1, set at disclosure.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-611 XML External Entity (XXE) — weakness family: Web / client.CWE — CNA-assigned (CVE.org); the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
CISA SSVC (triage disposition)
Exploitation: active · Automatable: yes · Technical Impact: totalCISA's own stakeholder-specific triage inputs, published in the CVE record (CISA Coordinator role). NOTE: this is CISA's three decision points; the final Act/Attend/Track decision also requires a Mission & Well-being input not published here, so no overall decision is asserted.
Currency of the record
CISA added this to its KEV catalog 34 days after the CVE record was published.KEV lag = CISA-KEV dateAdded − CVE.org datePublished; a floor on how long the known-exploited flaw sat in the public record before the federal catalog listed it. Severity/weakness here is CNA- or CISA-assigned (current at disclosure), independent of NVD's analysis backlog.
Public exploit available
Public exploit tooling is catalogued for this CVE (a functional/weaponized public exploit). Catalog entries: Metasploit module, nuclei template. We link the catalog page(s) only — no payload or code is hosted or restated here.Link, never host — the catalog page is the source; basicsecurity.net does not redistribute payloads.

Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I craft a malicious XML payload with external entity references targeting the application's XML parser.
Business
Attackers gain arbitrary code execution capability on affected Commerce and Magento instances.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I send the XXE payload through a vulnerable XML processing endpoint without authentication.
Business
E-commerce operations are compromised, enabling data theft, order manipulation, and customer information exposure.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I leverage code execution to establish persistence and exfiltrate sensitive merchant and customer data.
Business
Breach of payment card data, customer PII, and business secrets results in regulatory fines and reputational damage.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
