CVE-2026-47992: Adobe Commerce SQLi Vulnerability

CVE-2026-47992 Overview

CVE-2026-47992 is a SQL Injection vulnerability [CWE-89] affecting Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B, Magento Open Source, and the Adobe I/O Events module for Commerce. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. A high-privileged attacker can craft malicious input that the application passes to the database engine without proper sanitization. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, exposing customer data, order records, and administrative session tokens. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and is exploitable over the network.

Critical Impact
An authenticated high-privileged attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands against the Commerce database, leading to arbitrary code execution and full compromise of storefront and back-office data.

Affected Products

Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.4 through 2.4.9 (including all patch releases)
Adobe Commerce B2B versions 1.3.3 through 1.5.3 (including all patch releases)
Adobe Magento Open Source 2.4.6, 2.4.7, 2.4.8, 2.4.9 and Adobe I/O Events for Commerce

Technical Details for CVE-2026-47992

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability resides in a Commerce component that constructs SQL statements using attacker-controlled input without applying parameterized queries or proper escaping. Adobe Commerce relies on the Magento ORM and its Zend_Db abstraction, and any query path that concatenates user input into raw SQL fragments bypasses the framework's binding protections. A high-privileged user, such as an administrator or an authenticated API consumer with elevated scopes, can inject SQL syntax into a vulnerable parameter. The injected payload is executed by the underlying MySQL or MariaDB backend, yielding arbitrary command execution within the application's data tier.

Because Adobe Commerce stores serialized configuration and executable template references in the database, SQL write primitives translate directly into arbitrary code execution in the current user's context. Attackers can modify core_config_data, layout XML, or admin user records to pivot from database access into web-tier command execution.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper neutralization of special SQL metacharacters [CWE-89] in one or more Commerce endpoints. Input handling logic accepts values that terminate SQL literals or inject additional statements. The affected code path does not enforce prepared statements or strict type validation before passing values to query construction.

Attack Vector

Exploitation requires network access to the Commerce admin interface or API and valid credentials with elevated privileges. The attacker submits a crafted request containing SQL syntax in a vulnerable parameter. The server processes the request, embeds the payload in a SQL query, and executes it against the database. No user interaction is required, and the attack traverses a single scope boundary to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

No verified public proof-of-concept is currently available. Refer to the Adobe Magento Security Advisory APSB26-73 for vendor guidance.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-47992

Indicators of Compromise

Unexpected INSERT, UPDATE, or UNION SELECT fragments appearing in Commerce access logs or MySQL general query logs originating from authenticated admin sessions.
Modifications to core_config_data, admin_user, or cms_block tables that do not correspond to legitimate administrator activity.
New administrator accounts, altered session lifetimes, or unexplained changes to payment or shipping module configuration.
Outbound network connections from the PHP-FPM worker to unknown hosts following suspicious admin API calls.

Detection Strategies

Enable MySQL query logging and alert on statements containing tautologies, stacked queries, or comment sequences such as -- , /*, or information_schema references.
Correlate admin authentication events with subsequent database write operations to identify anomalous privileged behavior.
Deploy Web Application Firewall rules that inspect admin and REST/GraphQL API payloads for SQL metacharacters in parameters expected to be numeric or enumerated.

Monitoring Recommendations

Forward Commerce application logs, nginx/apache access logs, and database audit logs to a centralized analytics platform for correlation.
Monitor for unexpected modifications to file system paths writable by the web server, including pub/media and var/cache, which can indicate post-exploitation staging.
Baseline typical administrator API usage and alert on deviations in request volume, parameter length, or endpoint diversity.

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-47992

Immediate Actions Required

Apply the security updates referenced in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-73 to all Commerce, Commerce B2B, and Magento Open Source instances.
Rotate all administrator credentials and API integration tokens after patching to invalidate any credentials that may have been exposed.
Audit the admin_user and oauth_token tables for unauthorized entries created before patch deployment.

Patch Information

Adobe has released fixed builds for the affected Commerce and Magento Open Source branches. Consult APSB26-73 for the specific patched version corresponding to each supported release line, and apply patches to the Adobe I/O Events module for Commerce where installed.

Workarounds

Restrict access to the Commerce admin panel and REST/GraphQL admin endpoints using IP allowlisting or a VPN until patches are applied.
Enforce strong multi-factor authentication for all administrator accounts to reduce the attacker's ability to obtain the high-privileged access required for exploitation.
Deploy Web Application Firewall signatures that block SQL injection patterns on admin API routes as a compensating control.
