CVE-2026-71362 is an incorrect-authorization flaw (CWE-863) in Adobe Commerce, the e-commerce platform formerly known as Magento, in which authorization checks are applied incorrectly and can be bypassed. It is triggered over the network without authentication or user interaction, per the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). A successful attacker gains elevated access to sensitive resources — a privilege-escalation condition that Adobe's APSB26-92 advisory and press coverage describe as an account-takeover risk. Any organization running an unpatched Adobe Commerce/Magento deployment is affected; exact version ranges are listed in Adobe security bulletin APSB26-92. The flaw came under active attack shortly after public disclosure, and its EPSS score of 25.1% (98th percentile) signals a high likelihood of continued near-term exploitation.

What to do: Apply the fix released under Adobe advisory APSB26-92 immediately, prioritizing internet-facing Commerce/Magento instances, and check the bulletin for the exact patched version ranges for your deployment. Because exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction, review admin accounts, API integrations, and user/role assignments for unauthorized privilege changes, and restrict admin-panel and storefront API access where feasible. Monitor Adobe's advisory for indicators of compromise given confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.
