Issues Addressed
The following is a list of solutions included in the Magento Security Patch SUPEE-5994 bundle.
- Cross-site Scripting: Magento Downloader (APPSEC-979) – Risk Rating: 8.2 High
Attackers using this exploit could execute JavaScript code in a Magento Connect Manager login session. Clicking a malicious link while logged in as an administrator allows attackers to steal the session and install extensions. - Code Injection in Spreadsheet Formulas (APPSEC-978) – Risk Rating: 6.1 Medium
This exploit allows attackers to input a formula in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Once executed, this formula can change data, steal personal data, or execute remote code. This formula triggers a warning, which a user simply clicks dismiss to activate. - Cross-site Scripting: Authorize.net (APPSEC-907) – Risk Rating: 6.1 Medium
This issue allows a malicious entity to execute JavaScript on a page visible to customers when they log in. If a user clicks the malicious link, the attacker can hijack the customer’s session by stealing their cookies. This also exposes personal data and compromises the checkout page. - Information Leak: Checkout (APPSEC-945) – Risk Rating: 5.3 Medium
This attack exposes addresses, names, and phone numbers to theft. An attacker can gain access to this information by creating an account with a sequential ID, adding a product in the cart, and proceeding to checkout.
