Summary
JTL-Shop from 5.3.0 before 5.6.5, from 5.7.0 before 5.7.5 and from 5.8.0 before 5.8.2 is affected. The authentication middleware of the administration backend processes the plugin safe mode toggle on the admin logout route before checking whether the user is authenticated, which is missing authentication for a critical function (CWE-306). An unauthenticated remote attacker can switch plugin safe mode on and off with a single request, which deactivates all installed plugins, including payment and shipping integrations, and causes a shop-wide denial of service.

Description from the CNA
The authentication middleware of the JTL-Shop administration backend processes the plugin safe mode toggle on the admin logout route before checking whether the requesting user is authenticated. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore switch the shop's plugin safe mode on and off, which deactivates all installed plugins and their functionality, such as payment and shipping integrations, resulting in a shop-wide denial of service. The attack requires a single request and can be automated against many installations.
