IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT REPORT VULNERABILITIES SOLELY TO THE AUTHOR OR MARKETPLACE.
We urge you to report any vulnerabilities directly to us. Our mission is to ensure the safety and security of the PrestaShop ecosystem. Unfortunately, many module developers may not always recognize or acknowledge the vulnerabilities in their code, whether due to lack of awareness, or inability to properly evaluate the associated risk, or other reasons.
Given the rise in professional cybercrime networks actively seeking out these vulnerabilities, it's crucial that any potential threats are promptly addressed and the community is informed. The most effective method to do this is by publishing a CVE, like the one provided below.
Should you discover any vulnerabilities, please report them to us at: report[@]security-presta.org or visit https://security-presta.org for more information.
Every vulnerability report helps make the community more secure, and we are profoundly grateful for any information shared with us.
[CVE-2023-34577] Improper neutralization of SQL parameter in Opart Planned popup for PrestaShop
In the module “Opart planned popup” (opartplannedpopup) up to version 1.4.11 from Opart for PrestaShop, a guest can perform SQL injection in affected versions.
Summary
- CVE ID: CVE-2023-34577
- Published at: 2023-09-19
- Platform: PrestaShop
- Product: opartplannedpopup
- Impacted release: <= 1.4.11 (1.4.12 fixed the vulnerability)
- Product author: Opart
- Weakness: CWE-89
- Severity: critical (9.8)
Description
Methods OpartPlannedPopupModuleFrontController::prepareHook() has sensitive SQL calls that can be executed with a trivial http call and exploited to forge a SQL injection.
This exploit uses a PrestaShop specific controller and most attackers can conceal this controller’s path during the exploit, so you will never know within your conventional frontend logs that it exploits this vulnerability. You will only see “POST /” inside your conventional frontend logs. Activating the AuditEngine of mod_security (or similar) is the only way to get data to confirm this exploit.

Other recommandations
- It’s recommended to upgrade to the latest version of the module opartplannedpopup.
- Upgrade PrestaShop to the latest version to disable multiquery executions (separated by “;”)
- Change the default database prefix
ps_by a new longer arbitrary prefix. Nethertheless, be warned that this is useless against blackhat with DBA senior skilled because of a design vulnerability in DBMS - Activate OWASP 942’s rules on your WAF (Web application firewall), be warned that you will probably break your backoffice and you will need to pre-configure some bypasses against these set of rules.
