Summary
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.
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.
CVE-2024-42354 has a CVSS score of 5.3 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, 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 (6.5.8.13, 6.6.5.1); 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.
Remediation advice
Update to Shopware 6.6.5.1 or 6.5.8.13.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2024-42354? CVE-2024-42354 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in shopware/core (composer), affecting versions <= 6.5.8.12. It is fixed in 6.5.8.13, 6.6.5.1.
- How severe is CVE-2024-42354? CVE-2024-42354 has a CVSS score of 5.3 (Medium). 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 packages are affected by CVE-2024-42354?
shopware/core(composer) (versions <= 6.5.8.12)shopware/platform(composer) (versions <= 6.5.8.12)
- Is there a fix for CVE-2024-42354? Yes. CVE-2024-42354 is fixed in 6.5.8.13, 6.6.5.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2024-42354 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-42354 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-2024-42354 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.
