CVE-2026-31867: Craft Commerce has a Potential IDOR in Commerce carts
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in Craft Commerce’s cart functionality that allows users to hijack any shopping cart by knowing or guessing its 32-character number. This vulnerability enables the takeover of shopping sessions and potential exposure of PII.
Vulnerability Details
Root Cause
The CartController accepts a user-supplied number parameter to load and modify shopping carts. No ownership validation is performed - the code only checks if the order exists and is incomplete, not whether the requester has authorization to access it.
php // CartController.php:374-389 - actionLoadCart() public function actionLoadCart(): ?Response { $number = $this->request->getParam('number');
if ($number === null) { return $this->asFailure(Craft::t('commerce', 'A cart number must be specified.')); }
// No ownership check - returns any cart to any requester $cart = Order::find()->number($number)->isCompleted(false)->one();
// Cart is loaded into attacker's session without authorization ... }
php // CartController.php:606-616 - getCart() $orderNumber = $this->request->getBodyParam('number'); if ($orderNumber) { // Same issue - no ownership validation $cart = Order::find()->number($orderNumber)->isCompleted(false)->one(); // Returns cart to any requester who knows the number } ---
Attack Scenario
Prerequisites - Target Craft Commerce installation with active shopping carts - Knowledge of a victim’s cart number (32-character hex string)
Cart Number Acquisition Vectors
1. Referrer Header Leakage: Cart URLs shared externally expose the number 2. Browser History: Accessible on shared/compromised devices 3. Proxy/WAF Logs: Cart numbers logged in URL parameters 4. Social Engineering: Support tickets, screenshots containing cart URLs 5. Brute Force: While impractical for random targeting, feasible for targeted attacks against recently-created carts
