How to obtain and apply a security patch

This article provides instructions on how to obtain and apply a security patch that has been released, but instructions are unavailable.

Affected products and versions

Adobe Commerce On-Premise and Cloud - All versions

Cause

Most Security Patches are released without any physical file or hotfix to apply.

Solution

Case I:

If a physical patch file/hotfix is mentioned in the Release Notes:

  • Download the file from the download section of https://account.magento.com. (Shared access users must first be given download privileges by the account owner/license holder)

Caveats:

If you are on an older version of Adobe Commerce and have purchased Extended Support, your version must be one of the following to be able to apply the Security Patches:

  • 2.4.2-p2
  • 2.4.3-p3

If you don’t have Extended Support, you may request Support to share the patches with you, but they will not be able to resolve any issues/errors you may encounter when applying them.

Case II:

If a physical patch file/hotfix is not mentioned in the Release Notes:

  • Cloud:
  1. Some Security Patches might be included/released in the latest version of Cloud Tools Suite (ECE Tools) under Cloud Patches for Commerce - check the Release Notes, and if a security fix is mentioned in the release, upgrade the package to that version.
  2. If the Release Notes do not mention a security fix, continue reading.
