CVE-2026-84186 Details
Description
Vulnerability involving incorrect access control in the Tools::getRemoteAddr() function in PrestaShop, which allows the client’s IP address to be spoofed via the X-Forwarded-For header when the application is running behind a reverse proxy, load balancer or CDN. The application incorrectly processes the IP address string and uses the address controlled by the visitor rather than the one provided by the trusted infrastructure, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause the application to interpret their connection as originating from an arbitrary IP address. This condition allows IP-based controls, such as the maintenance mode allowlist, to be bypassed, as well as enabling the forgery of security and audit logs and the evasion of third-party mechanisms that rely on the IP address, such as geolocation checks, fraud detection or request throttling.
A vulnerability exists in PrestaShop versions prior to 9.1.5 and 8.2.8, involving incorrect access control in the Tools::getRemoteAddr() function. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to spoof the client's IP address by manipulating the X-Forwarded-For header, particularly when the application is behind a reverse proxy, load balancer, or CDN. The application mistakenly trusts the visitor-controlled IP address instead of the one from the trusted infrastructure. This vulnerability enables attackers to bypass IP-based controls, such as maintenance mode allowlists, forge security and audit logs, and evade third-party mechanisms that rely on IP addresses, including geolocation checks, fraud detection, and request throttling.
Users can upgrade to PrestaShop versions 9.1.5 or 8.2.8 to address this vulnerability.
