Security highlights
-
Email variable usage was deprecated back in 2.3.4 as part of a security risk mitigation in favor of a more strict variable syntax. This legacy behavior has been fully removed in this release as a continuation of that security risk mitigation.
As a result, email or newsletter templates that worked in previous versions may not work correctly after upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.3-p2. Affected templates include admin overrides, themes, child themes, and templates from custom modules or third-party extensions. Your deployment may still be affected even after using the Upgrade compatibility tool to fix deprecated usages. See Migrating custom email templates for information about potential effects and guidelines for migrating affected templates.

Security highlights
Session IDs have been removed from the database. This code change may result in breaking changes if merchants have customizations or installed extensions that use the raw session IDs stored in the database.
Restricted admin access to Media Gallery folders. Default Media Gallery permissions now allow only directory operations (view, upload, delete, and create) that are allowed explicitly by configuration. Admin users can no longer access media assets through the Media Gallery that were uploaded outside of the catalog/category or wysiwyg directories. Administrators who want to access media assets must move them to an explicitly allowed folder or adjust their configuration settings. See Modify Media Library folder permissions.
Lowered limits to GraphQL query complexity. The GraphQL maximum allowed query complexity has been lowered to prevent Denial-of-Service (DOS) attacks. See GraphQL security configuration.
Recent penetration test vulnerabilities have been fixed in this release.
The unsupported source expression unsafe-inline has been removed from the Content Security Policy frame-ancestors directive. GitHub-33101
