Summary

  • CVE ID: CVE-2024-33270
  • Published at: 2024-04-29
  • Platform: PrestaShop
  • Product: fileuploads
  • Impacted release: <= 2.0.3 (2.0.4 fixed the vulnerability)
  • Product author: FME Modules
  • Weakness: CWE-359
  • Severity: high (7.5), GDPR violation

Description

Due to a lack of permissions control, a guest can download all files uploaded by customers which could be national identity card / contents under NDA, etc.

This exploit uses a PrestaShop front controller and most attackers can conceal the module 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.
