Real-World Exposure
shopware/core🐘shopware/platform🐘shopware/core🐘shopware/platformReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
The store-API works with regular entities and not expose all fields for the public API; fields need to be marked as ApiAware in the EntityDefinition. So only ApiAware fields of the EntityDefinition will be encoded to the final JSON.
The processing of the Criteria did not considered ManyToMany associations and so they were not considered properly and the protections didn't get used.
This issue cannot be reproduced with the default entities by Shopware, but can be triggered with extensions.
Patches
Update to Shopware 6.6.5.1 or 6.5.8.13.
Workarounds
For older versions of 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4, corresponding security measures are also available via a plugin. For the full range of functions, we recommend updating to the latest Shopware version.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for shopware/core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update shopware/core to 6.5.8.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-42354 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
