  • Disclosed: 27.04.2023
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

In the module “Static Blocks” (posstaticblocks) from PosThemes for PrestaShop, a guest can perform SQL injection in affected versions.

Note : if ajax.php do not exists in the root module directory, you are not concerned.

The method posstaticblocks::getPosCurrentHook() has sensitive SQL calls that can be executed with a trivial http call and exploited to forge a SQL injection.

The exploit can be used even if the module is not activated.

WARNING : This exploit is actively used to deploy webskimmer to massively steal credit cards.
