Summary
CVE-2026-75650 is a critical Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine vulnerability (CWE-1336) affecting Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, and Magento Open Source. The flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user without authentication or user interaction. It carries the maximum CVSS v3.1 base score of 10.0 (Critical).
Technical details
- Root cause: improper neutralization of special elements processed by Magento’s template engine, allowing attacker-supplied input to be rendered and executed as code.
- Trigger conditions: no authentication and no user interaction are required to exploit the flaw.
- Attack vector: network-based (remotely exploitable over HTTP/HTTPS), low attack complexity.
- Impact: arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user; scope is changed, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, indicating potential full compromise of the affected store, including its underlying data and hosting environment.
Affected software
- Adobe Commerce: versions up to and including 2.4.9-2026-aug, 2.4.8-2026-aug, 2.4.7-2026-aug, 2.4.6-2026-aug, 2.4.5-2026-aug, and 2.4.4-2026-aug

- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Apply the hotfix designated for CVE-2026-75650 (referred to in Adobe’s records as "Hotfix for CVE-2026-7565") as published in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-146, and update to a build that includes this hotfix as soon as it is available for your version line.
- If no patch is yet available for your deployment: restrict and closely monitor access to store-facing endpoints that process templated content (including admin, email/notification, and GraphQL-related workflows), watch for unexpected processes or cron entries, and review logs for anomalous template-rendering or failed-notification activity as an indicator of attempted exploitation.
