PrestaShop has multiple stored XSS vulnerabilities via unprotected Template variables
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: prestashop/prestashop (Packagist) 9.1.0, 8.2.5.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.7, NVD 5.4.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to prestashop/prestashop (Packagist) 9.1.0, 8.2.5 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
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.

Limit the impact of XSS
This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A well-configured Content-Security-Policy doesn't fix it, but greatly reduces its impact. Check your site's CSP and other security headers for free.
