Overview
Karcher Center AE is a Magento 2 store that provides a wide range of Karcher products and services. It came to our attention whilst performing routine security audits of Magento 2 stores with erroneously indexed pages on Google. Upon investigation, we discovered that the platform had a critical security vulnerability that allowed unprivileged admin access, and full database dumps through an unauthenticated backdoor that had even been indexed by google.
The Solution
After discovering the backdoor, we immediately notified the Karcher Center AE team and provided them with detailed information on how to mitigate the vulnerability. As well as advising a full post mortem to be conducted to understand how the backdoor was introduced, the scope of the incident and to prevent future occurrences. We also recommended a series of steps to secure the platform, including updating the Magento 2 installation, removing the backdoor, and implementing additional security measures to prevent future vulnerabilities. Our team also provided guidance on best practices for maintaining the security of the platform, including regular security audits and updates to the Magento 2 installation.
