CVE-2026-47994 in Commerce
Summary
by MITRE • 07/15/2026
Adobe Commerce is affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by a low-privileged attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim's browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field, potentially gaining elevated access or control over the victim's account or session. Scope is changed.

Adobe Commerce contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows low-privileged attackers to inject malicious javascript code into form fields within the application. This flaw resides in the application's input validation and output encoding mechanisms, where user-supplied data fails to be properly sanitized before being rendered back to users. The vulnerability manifests when attacker-controlled content is stored in the application's database and subsequently displayed without adequate context-aware encoding or sanitization. When legitimate users access pages containing these compromised fields, their browsers execute the injected scripts within their browsing context, creating a persistent threat vector that can affect all users who encounter the malicious content.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability follows established patterns documented in CWE-79 and aligns with ATT&CK techniques categorized under T1531 and T1059.007 for client-side code injection and command and scripting interpreter execution. Attackers can leverage this flaw to perform session hijacking, steal authentication tokens, redirect users to malicious domains, or inject additional payloads that could lead to complete account compromise. The stored nature of the vulnerability means that once injected, the malicious code persists until manually removed from the database, creating a long-term threat that can affect multiple victims over time.
The operational impact extends beyond simple script execution as this vulnerability creates opportunities for more sophisticated attacks including credential theft, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration. Users with compromised sessions may experience unauthorized access to their accounts, potentially leading to financial loss, data breaches, or further lateral movement within the application environment. The scope change indicates that this vulnerability affects multiple components of the Adobe Commerce platform rather than being isolated to a single module, increasing the potential attack surface and impact severity.
Mitigation strategies should focus on implementing comprehensive input validation mechanisms, output encoding for all user-supplied content, and regular security scanning of form fields and data storage areas. Organizations should deploy web application firewalls with XSS detection capabilities, implement content security policies, and conduct regular security audits of user input handling processes. Additionally, privileged access controls and multi-factor authentication should be enforced to limit the damage potential from successful exploitation attempts. The vulnerability requires immediate patching as outlined in industry standards for maintaining secure software development practices and protecting against persistent client-side threats.
