CISA: Adobe Commerce and Magento Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type Vulnerability
Adobe Commerce, Commerce B2B, Magento, and I/O Events allow upload of a dangerous file type. A remote attacker needs no privileges but must lure a victim to a crafted URL or compromised page. Successful use can run code as the current user and take over that account or session, with impact beyond the original component. Adobe has not listed affected builds.
What to do: Apply Adobe’s update or mitigations for CVE-2026-48356. If mitigations are unavailable, discontinue use per CISA BOD 26-04.
| Product | Affected |
|---|---|
