Security News > 2022 > September > Critical Magento vulnerability targeted in new surge of attacks
Researchers have observed a surge in hacking attempts targeting CVE-2022-24086, a critical Magento 2 vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute code on unpatched sites.
According to a report published by Sansec today, we have reached that stage, with the critical template vulnerability becoming a favorite in the hacker underground.
The attacks are interactive because the Magento checkout flow is challenging to automate and may reduce the effectiveness of the attacks.
The first variant begins by creating a new customer account on the target platform using malicious template code in the first and last names and then placing an order.
The code creates a new file that accepts commands via POST requests.
Finally, the third attack variation employs template code that executes to replace "Generated/code/Magento/Framework/App/FrontController/Interceptor.php" with a malicious, backdoored version.
