AquiveMedia\_DisableCustomerFileUpload
======================================

[](#aquivemedia_disablecustomerfileupload)

A Magento 2 security module that disables the unauthenticated customer address file upload endpoint to protect against CVE-2025-54236 (SessionReaper) and related file upload vulnerabilities.

Security Context
----------------

[](#security-context)

### CVE-2025-54236 (SessionReaper)

[](#cve-2025-54236-sessionreaper)

In October 2025, a critical vulnerability dubbed "SessionReaper" was discovered in Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce. This vulnerability combines two attack vectors:

1. **Nested Deserialization Vulnerability** - Allows attackers to control PHP session storage paths via API deserialization chains
2. **Unauthenticated File Upload** - Permits arbitrary file uploads through the customer address endpoint

When combined, these vulnerabilities enable **remote code execution** on vulnerable Magento installations, particularly those using file-based session storage.

### The File Upload Component

[](#the-file-upload-component)

Even on **patched systems** where the deserialization vulnerability has been fixed, the file upload endpoint remains a significant security risk:

**Endpoint:** `/customer/address_file/upload`

**Vulnerabilities:**

- No authentication required
- Minimal form key validation (any matching cookie/form value works)
- Allows upload of files without extensions
- Files stored in predictable locations: `pub/media/customer_address/[first_char]/[second_char]/filename`
- Can be exploited for storage abuse, XSS, and social engineering attacks
- May be chained with future vulnerabilities

What This Module Does
---------------------

[](#what-this-module-does)

This module completely disables the vulnerable file upload endpoint by intercepting all requests and returning a `403 Forbidden` response with a JSON error message.

**Implementation:**

- Uses an `around` plugin on `Magento\Customer\Controller\Address\File\Upload::execute()`
- Short-circuits the controller before any file processing occurs
- Returns a clear error message to legitimate users who might encounter it

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require aquivemedia/module-disable-customer-file-upload
bin/magento module:enable AquiveMedia_DisableCustomerFileUpload
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:flush
```

When to Use This Module
-----------------------

[](#when-to-use-this-module)

**Install this module if:**

- You don't use custom file upload attributes on customer addresses
- You want defense-in-depth against file upload vulnerabilities
- You want to reduce your attack surface

**You may not need this module if:**

- You actively use customer address file upload functionality (rare)
- You have custom extensions that depend on this endpoint
- You have already disabled write permissions on `pub/media/customer_address/`

Tested on
---------

[](#tested-on)

- Magento 2.4.6-p13

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

Should work on

- **Magento:** 2.4.x
- **Adobe Commerce:** 2.4.x
- **PHP:** 7.4+, 8.1+

Security Recommendations
------------------------

[](#security-recommendations)

1. **Apply Adobe Security Patches:** Always install the latest security patches from Adobe
2. **Run Security Scans:** Use tools like [Sansec eComscan](https://sansec.io/ecomscan) to check for backdoors
3. **File Monitoring:** Monitor `pub/media/customer_address/` for suspicious files: ```
    find pub/media/customer_address -type f \( -name "sess_*" -o -name "*.php" \)
    ```
