Description
Shopware is an open commerce platform. Prior to 6.6.10.18 and 6.7.10.1, a low-privilege admin user with user_recovery:read ACL can take over any admin account by triggering POST /api/_action/user/user-recovery, reading the password recovery hash through POST /api/search/user-recovery, and using PATCH /api/_action/user/user-recovery/password; the root cause is that src/Core/System/User/Recovery/UserRecoveryDefinition.php exposes the hash field through the Admin API without ApiAware(false) or ReadProtection. This issue is fixed in versions 6.6.10.18 and 6.7.10.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for shopware/platform. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update shopware/platform to 6.7.10.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-48009 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-48009 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-48009. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-48009 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2026-48009 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
