Magento Warns E-Commerce Sites to Upgrade ASAP to Prevent Attacks
#1
Information 
Quote:The popular e-commerce platform Magento is urging web administrators to install its latest security update in order to defend against malicious attacks in the wild that could exploit a critical remote code-execution vulnerability.

The vulnerability (CVE-2019-8144), which carries a severity ranking of 10 out of 10 on the CVSS v.3 scale, could enable an unauthenticated user to insert a malicious payload into a merchant’s site through Page Builder template methods, and execute it. Page Builder allows websites to design content updates, preview them live and schedule them to be published. The bug specifically exists in the preview function.

The flaw affects Magento 2.3, and was patched in in Magento Commerce 2.3.3 and with the security-only patch 2.3.2-p2, released in October. The company warned that patching will have the side effect of “blocking administrators from viewing previews for products, blocks and dynamic blocks’; but, it said it will re-enable the preview functionality as soon as possible.

“We recommend that all merchants, even those who have already upgraded to 2.3.3 or applied security-only patch 2.3.2-p2, review the security of their Magento site to confirm that it was not potentially compromised before upgrade,” Piotr Kaminski of the Magento security team wrote in a posting on Monday. “Applying this hot fix or upgrading…will help defend your store against potential attacks going forward, but will not address the effects of an earlier attack.”
