Description
PrestaShop is an open source e-commerce web application. Versions prior to 8.2.5 and 9.1.0 are vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (stored XSS) vulnerabilities in the BO. An attacker who can inject data into the database, via limited back-office access or a previously existing vulnerability, can exploit unprotected variables in back-office templates. Versions 8.2.5 and 9.1.0 contain a fix. No known workarounds are available.

AI Analysis

Impact

PrestaShop versions prior to 8.2.5 and 9.1.0 contain multiple stored XSS flaws in back‑office templates caused by unprotected template variables. An attacker who can inject data into the database—either through limited back‑office access or via a previously existing vulnerability—may embed malicious code that will execute whenever the affected templates are rendered. The vulnerability allows exploitation of the front‑end rendering engine from data written in the database, resulting in scripts that run with the privileges of any authenticated administrator who views the page.

Affected Systems

All installations of PrestaShop running a version older than 8.2.5 or 9.1.0 are susceptible. Version 8.2.5 and 9.1.0 include the necessary fix and are not affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score is unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited known exploitation. The likely attack vector involves an attacker writing malicious input to the database through the back‑office, which is inferred from the description. After injection, the stored script will execute each time the relevant page is rendered for any privileged user.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade PrestaShop to version 8.2.5 or 9.1.0 (or later)
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict back‑office user permissions to prevent database write operations that could inject malicious content
  • Disable or limit template editing features until a patch can be applied
  • Verify the latest security advisories and monitor logs for unauthorized database changes
