Magento 2 Security Update – APSB25-71 - August 2025

[Meetanshi]

hello @everyone!

Adobe just released the APSB25-71 security patch for Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source. This one fixes some pretty serious issues like account privilege jumps, reading files you shouldn’t have access to, and even site downtime problems.

There aren’t any attacks out there using these yet (at least not that we know of), but it’s always better to lock things down before trouble starts. We’ve broken down what’s fixed, what versions are hit, and how you can get updated.

Read the full official release guide, or you can visit Meetanshi's blog to get detailed security patch information.

And if you don’t have the time (or just don’t feel like messing with patches yourself), our team can help get it done quickly and safely. Visit our security patch installation service.

Hi,

Is the patch APSB25-71 really requires magento version update or we can install the patch directly?

You don’t always need to upgrade the full Magento version to apply APSB25-71. Adobe provides standalone patch files, so in most supported setups you can install the patch directly without moving to a higher release.

That said, there are a few things worth checking before you proceed:

Confirm the exact Magento edition and version you’re running.

Review Adobe’s official patch notes for compatibility details.

Make sure you’re not on an end-of-support release, since in that case the fixes may only be included in the latest version.

So generally, yes, you can apply APSB25-71 directly, but if your store is on an older unsupported version, a full upgrade may be the safer route.
