CVE-2026-76202 – Privilege Escalation / Unauthorized Data Access – Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-76202 is an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) affecting Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, and Magento Open Source. The flaw allows an attacker to gain elevated access and obtain unauthorized access to confidential data without any user interaction. Adobe rates the issue High severity with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.2, and it was addressed as part of Adobe’s September 2026 security release.

Technical details

  • Root cause: An incorrect authorization check (CWE-863) within Adobe Commerce allows access-control logic to be bypassed, permitting privilege escalation.
  • Trigger conditions: No user interaction is required to exploit the vulnerability, and no privileges are required by the attacker (PR:N, UI:N), meaning a remote, low-complexity request against the affected application can trigger the flaw.
  • Attack vector: Network (AV:N) — exploitable remotely over the network against an internet-exposed Adobe Commerce/Magento storefront or admin-facing component.
  • Impact: Successful exploitation results in high confidentiality impact (unauthorized access to sensitive/confidential data) and low integrity impact, with no impact to availability. Adobe describes the impact as privilege escalation leading to unauthorized access to confidential information.

Affected software

  • Adobe Commerce: all builds 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
  • Adobe Commerce B2B: all builds up to and including 1.5.3-2026-aug, 1.5.2-2026-aug, 1.4.2-2026-aug, 1.3.4-2026-aug, and 1.3.3-2026-aug
  • Magento Open Source: all builds up to and including 2.4.9-2026-aug, 2.4.8-2026-aug, 2.4.7-2026-aug, and 2.4.6-2026-aug
  • Fixed in the corresponding September 2026 releases (e.g., 2.4.9-2026-sep, 2.4.8-2026-sep, 2.4.7-2026-sep, 2.4.6-2026-sep, 2.4.5-2026-sep, 2.4.4-2026-sep for Commerce/Open Source; 1.5.3-2026-sep, 1.5.2-2026-sep, 1.4.2-2026-sep, 1.3.4-2026-sep, 1.3.3-2026-sep for Commerce B2B)

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.2 (High)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, and Magento Open Source to the September 2026 patched builds referenced in Adobe’s security bulletin (APSB26-138) — e.g., 2.4.9-2026-sep, 2.4.8-2026-sep, 2.4.7-2026-sep, 2.4.6-2026-sep, 2.4.5-2026-sep, or 2.4.4-2026-sep as applicable to your deployed version line, and the corresponding B2B extension updates.
  • If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict and monitor network access to Commerce/Magento admin and API endpoints, review access logs for anomalous authorization patterns, and apply any available compensating access-control configurations until the patch can be deployed. There is no substitute for applying the vendor patch, as this is an authorization-logic flaw rather than a configuration weakness.

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
