GHSA-F946-9QP6-VGCH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-18 16:34 – Updated: 2026-06-08 20:07Impact
Multiple Livewire components in the admin panel allowed an authenticated low-privilege user to mutate data without the required permission:
- Order detail Filament actions (cancel, mark paid, mark complete, capture payment, archive, start processing) were callable with
read_ordersonly and did not requireedit_orders.capturePaymentcould trigger an actual PSP capture. - Order shipments table actions (mark delivered, edit tracking) were callable with
browse_ordersonly. - Sub-form Livewire components for products (Edit, Inventory, Seo, Shipping, Files) had no authorization on
store(), so any authenticated panel user could mutate product data withoutedit_products. Settings/Team/Indexhad nomount()authorization at all — any authenticated user could create roles and delete other users.Settings/Team/RolePermissiongated its write actions on the read-onlyview_userspermission, allowing privilege escalation via the RBAC system itself.PaymentMethods,Currencies,Carrierstable toggles and per-record actions had no per-action permission check.Customers/Create::store()re-passed a Hidden_passwordform field into the create payload.
Several public Eloquent model properties on Livewire components were not #[Locked], allowing client-side ID tampering.
A stored XSS surface existed on the product barcode field, which is rendered through DNS1DFacade::getBarcodeHTML() with {!! !!}.
Patches
Fixed in v2.8.0. Upgrade via:
composer require shopper/admin:^2.8 shopper/cart:^2.8 shopper/core:^2.8
php artisan migrate
Workarounds
None. Upgrade to v2.8.0.

GHSA-F98M-7GFC-G33X
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-04 03:33 – Updated: 2025-01-06 18:31An issue was discovered in Optimizely Configured Commerce before 5.2.2408. For newly created accounts, the Commerce B2B application does not require email confirmation. This medium-severity issue allows the mass creation of accounts. This could affect database storage; also, non-requested storefront accounts can be created on behalf of visitors.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
