In the ever-evolving world of e-commerce, security is paramount. As businesses continue to expand their online presence, the need for robust security measures becomes increasingly critical. Adobe Commerce recognizes this need and has rolled out its latest security patch, version 2.4.7-p2, designed to fortify your e-commerce platform against potential vulnerabilities.
Why This Update Matters
The 2.4.7-p2 release isn’t just another routine update; it’s a vital step in safeguarding your Adobe Commerce deployment. This patch primarily focuses on addressing security concerns that have surfaced in previous releases of Adobe Commerce 2.4.7. Let’s dive into what makes this update essential for your e-commerce site.
Key Security Enhancements
1. Rate Limiting for One-Time Passwords (OTP)
One of the standout features in this release is the introduction of rate limiting for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) OTP validation. Adobe Commerce now allows you to configure the number of retry attempts for OTPs and set a lockout period if the limit is exceeded. This enhancement is crucial in mitigating brute-force attacks, ensuring that unauthorized users can’t repeatedly attempt to gain access to your system.
2. Encryption Key Rotation
With the rise in cyber threats, Adobe Commerce has introduced a new CLI command for encryption key rotation. Regularly rotating your encryption keys is a proactive measure to secure sensitive data. This update not only enhances security but also simplifies the process of changing your encryption keys, making it more accessible for users.
3. Fix for Security Vulnerabilities
The 2.4.7-p2 patch addresses several critical security vulnerabilities, including:
– CVE-2020-27511: A vulnerability in Prototype.js that has now been resolved.
– CVE-2024-39397: A remote code execution vulnerability affecting merchants using Apache web servers for on-premises deployments. This fix is crucial for preventing unauthorized access and maintaining the integrity of your site.
Hotfixes Included in 2.4.7-p2
This release also includes important hotfixes, such as:
– A fix for a JavaScript error that was preventing Google Maps from rendering correctly in the PageBuilder editor.
– A solution for a JSON web token (JWT) validation issue related to CVE-2024-34102, ensuring that your authentication processes remain secure and reliable.
2.4.7-p1: A Recap
Before the release of 2.4.7-p2, Adobe Commerce rolled out the 2.4.7-p1 security patch. This update was particularly significant due to the urgent need to address CVE-2024-34102, a vulnerability that was actively being exploited. Adobe Commerce merchants were urged to apply this patch immediately to protect their platforms from potential attacks.
Key highlights from the 2.4.7-p1 release include:
– Google Authenticator OTP Settings Update: This update was necessary to resolve errors related to the backward-incompatible change introduced in version 2.4.7.
– B2B Compatibility: Merchants using the Adobe Commerce B2B extension had to upgrade to version 1.4.2-p1 to maintain compatibility with 2.4.7-p1.
