Prepared by Deepwatch Threat Intel Team
Key Points:
- Adobe released updates on February 13 to address a critical security vulnerability, identified as CVE-2022-24086 with a CVSS score of 9.8, that affects its Commerce and Magento Open Source products.
- The vulnerability is an “improper input validation” flaw that might be exploited to allow arbitrary code execution. Adobe is aware that threat actors have exploited the vulnerability in the Adobe Commerce platform in limited attacks.
- Deepwatch Threat Intel Team assesses with moderate confidence that threat actors will exploit the vulnerability in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source platforms to infect eCommerce stores with credit card skimmers. Therefore, it is recommended that customers update their platform to the latest version, check their payment pages for unauthorized modifications that could indicate skimming activities, and review for possible webshells placed as backdoors.

Deepwatch Threat Intelligence Outlook
Deepwatch Threat Intel Team assesses with moderate confidence that threat actors will exploit the vulnerability in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source platforms to infect eCommerce stores with credit card skimmers. This assessment is partly based on the discoveries of Sansec, an eCommerce malware and vulnerability detection company, that revealed on February 8 that a Magecart campaign infected 500 Magento-based stores with a credit card skimmer meant to steal sensitive payment information. All infected stores had the credit card skimmer loaded from the same domain, naturalfreshmall[.]com. Additionally, Sansec learned that the threat actors used a mixture of SQL injection (SQLi) and PHP Object Injection (POI) attacks to gain control of the Magento stores. Therefore, it is recommended that customers update their platform to the latest version, check their payment pages for unauthorized modifications that could indicate skimming activities, and review for possible webshells placed as backdoors.
