CVE-2023-41879

Magento LTS's guest order "protect code" can be brute-forced too easily

Published Sep 11, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 1.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
Magento LTS is the official OpenMage LTS codebase. Guest orders may be viewed without authentication using a "guest-view" cookie which contains the order's "protect_code". This code is 6 hexadecimal characters which is arguably not enough to prevent a brute-force attack. Exposing each order would require a separate brute force attack. This issue has been patched in versions 19.5.1 and 20.1.1.
