PrestaShop PHP Object Injection
CVE-2018-20717GHSA-xx67-2j3v-h76p
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (prestashop/prestashop 1.7.2.5), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
In the orders section of PrestaShop before 1.7.2.5, an attack is possible after gaining access to a target store with a user role with the rights of at least a Salesman or higher privileges. The attacker can then inject arbitrary PHP objects into the process and abuse an object chain in order to gain Remote Code Execution. This occurs because protection against serialized objects looks for a 0: followed by an integer, but does not consider 0:+ followed by an integer.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2018-20717 Advisory: PrestaShop PHP Object Injection IDs: CVE-2018-20717, GHSA-xx67-2j3v-h76p Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2018-20717 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:09 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 8.8) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: prestashop/prestashop 1.7.2.5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist prestashop/prestashop: affected < 1.7.2.5; fixed in 1.7.2.5 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist prestashop/prestashop: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on prestashop/prestashop. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xx67-2j3v-h76p (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xx67-2j3v-h76p lists affected ranges: Packagist prestashop/prestashop >=0 <1.7.2.5) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
