Impact
The pimcore application is vulnerable to Formula Injection/CSV Injection via the Firstname, Lastname, Street, Zip & City input fields. These vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted excel file.
Successful exploitation can lead to impacts such as client-sided command injection, code execution, or remote ex-filtration of contained confidential data.
CVE-2023-2629 has a CVSS score of 7.8 (High). The vector is requires local access, no privileges required, and user interaction required. 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 (3.3.9); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
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. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2023-2629? CVE-2023-2629 is a high-severity security vulnerability in pimcore/customer-management-framework-bundle (composer), affecting versions < 3.3.9. It is fixed in 3.3.9.
- How severe is CVE-2023-2629? CVE-2023-2629 has a CVSS score of 7.8 (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.
- Which versions of pimcore/customer-management-framework-bundle are affected by CVE-2023-2629? pimcore/customer-management-framework-bundle (composer) versions < 3.3.9 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2023-2629? Yes. CVE-2023-2629 is fixed in 3.3.9. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2023-2629 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2023-2629 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.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2023-2629 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.
- How do I fix CVE-2023-2629? Upgrade
pimcore/customer-management-framework-bundleto 3.3.9 or later.
