CVE-2021-32717

Shopware is an open source eCommerce platform. In versions prior to 6.4.1.1 private files publicly accessible with Cloud Storage providers when the hashed URL is known. Users are recommend to first change their configuration to set the correct visibility according to the documentation. The visibility must be at the same level as type. When the Storage is saved on Amazon AWS we recommending disabling public access to the bucket containing the private files: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/access-control-block-public-access.html. Otherwise, update to Shopware 6.4.1.1 or install or update the Security plugin (https://store.shopware.com/en/detail/index/sArticle/518463/number/Swag136939272659) and run the command ./bin/console s3:set-visibility to correct your cloud file visibilities.

A file, directory, or other resource is assigned permissions that allow broader access than intended. Typical impact: unauthorized read, modification, or execution of the resource.

CVE-2021-32717 has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (6.4.1.1); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

1. What is CVE-2021-32717? CVE-2021-32717 is a high-severity incorrect permission assignment for critical resource vulnerability in shopware/platform (composer), affecting versions <= 6.4.1.0. It is fixed in 6.4.1.1. A file, directory, or other resource is assigned permissions that allow broader access than intended.
2. How severe is CVE-2021-32717? CVE-2021-32717 has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which versions of shopware/platform are affected by CVE-2021-32717? shopware/platform (composer) versions <= 6.4.1.0 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for CVE-2021-32717? Yes. CVE-2021-32717 is fixed in 6.4.1.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is CVE-2021-32717 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2021-32717 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether CVE-2021-32717 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
7. How do I fix CVE-2021-32717? Upgrade shopware/platform to 6.4.1.1 or later.
