Today, we are releasing a patch (SUPEE-6482) that addresses 4 security issues identified through our comprehensive security program. This patch resolves two issues related to APIs and two cross-site scripting risks. There are no confirmed reports of attacks related to these issues to-date, but it is important that you immediately deploy the patch in order to protect your store.
More information about these issues can be found in the Appendix of the Magento Enterprise Edition and Magento Community Edition user guides. You can also sign up for future security alerts at the Magento Security Center.
We have created patches for both Magento Community and Magento Enterprise Editions. For Magento Community Edition, a patch is available for Community Edition 1.4 and later releases and is part of the core code of Community Edition 1.9.2.1, which is now available for download. For Magento Enterprise Edition, a patch is available for Enterprise Edition 1.7 and later releases and will be part of the core code of Enterprise Edition 1.14.2.1, which is set for release on August 6. Please immediately deploy the patches or upgrade to the latest Enterprise Edition or Community Edition release.
