Description
Saleor is an e-commerce platform. From 3.14.67 until 3.21.67, 3.22.63, and 3.23.22, a broken authorization check in saleor/permission/utils.py can incorrectly authorize unauthenticated GraphQL requests. The flaw permits anonymous callers to use the channelUpdate() mutation to change channel order settings such as allowUnpaidOrders even when the response reports PermissionDenied. The same permission utility can expose hidden objects through the pageType() and translation() queries, including attributes whose visibleInStorefront field is false and that should be visible only to users with management permissions. This issue is fixed in versions 3.21.67, 3.22.63, and 3.23.22.

AI Analysis

Impact

A broken authorization check in the permission utilities of Saleor allows callers without valid login credentials to execute the channelUpdate mutation, thereby altering vital channel order settings such as allowUnpaidOrders. In addition, the same flaw exposes otherwise hidden objects in pageType and translation queries, potentially leaking sensitive configuration details. The weakness is an example of improper privilege enforcement (CWE-285) and would let an attacker tamper with store logic without authentication.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the Saleor e‑commerce platform, specifically versions 3.14.67 up to 3.21.67, 3.22.63, and 3.23.22. All installations running any of these releases are susceptible unless the source code has been otherwise patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity that can be achieved by an unauthenticated attacker over a GraphQL endpoint. The exploitation path requires no prior access and can be performed remotely, making the attack feasible but limited to the stated API surface. The vulnerability is not yet listed in CISA KEV and EPSS data is unavailable, so the current likelihood of exploitation is uncertain but mitigable through the recommended patches.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Saleor to any of the fixed releases: 3.21.67, 3.22.63, or 3.23.22.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, enforce authentication on all GraphQL operations or specifically disable the channelUpdate mutation for anonymous users via query routing or role configuration.
  • Review and correct any custom permission utilities or overrides that may replicate the broken check to ensure future code changes do not re‑introduce the flaw.
