Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a low-severity Magento Commerce authorization flaw. A highly privileged user who already has Pages permissions could use the REST API to delete CMS pages without proper authorization. The main business risk is unauthorized content removal, not data theft or system takeover.
Executive priority
Handle in normal patch governance unless CMS integrity is business-critical. Prioritize systems with many administrators, external integrations, or exposed admin/API surfaces.
Technical view
CVE-2020-24404 is a CWE-285 incorrect permissions issue in Magento's Integrations component affecting Magento Commerce 2.4.0, 2.3.5-p1, and earlier. CVSS 3.1 is 2.7: network reachable, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and limited integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most relevant for Magento Commerce sites on 2.4.0, 2.3.5-p1, or earlier where REST API access and users or integrations with Pages permissions exist.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. Abuse requires high privileges and appears limited to deleting CMS pages through REST API authorization gaps.
Researcher notes
The issue is authorization-bound, not unauthenticated remote compromise. The source bundle does not provide exploit details or a named fixed version, so validation should focus on version exposure, role permissions, API logs, and Adobe advisory status.
Mitigation direction
- Identify Magento Commerce instances running affected versions.
- Review Adobe APSB20-59 for the vendor-approved update or remediation path.
- Restrict REST API access to trusted administrative networks where feasible.
- Review users and integrations granted Pages permissions.
- Monitor for unexpected CMS page deletion events.
Validation and detection
- Confirm each Magento Commerce instance version against affected versions.
- List users and integrations with Pages resource permissions.
- Review API and admin logs for unexpected CMS page deletion activity.
- Verify Adobe guidance from APSB20-59 has been applied.
- Confirm CMS page deletion requires intended authorization after remediation.

Improper Authorization
Improper Authorization represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
