10 Apr 2025

Mike Patel

On April 7, 2025, Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 Release for Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source. The new release contains many new features, enhancements, and updates related to security, compatibility, and migration. It features over 500 fixes and functionality enhancements to make your eCommerce store more stable and secure.

Here are the key updates of the release that you must consider to run your operations efficiently.

Security

There are four security fixes and improvements in this release.

Duo Security 2FA

Adobe Commerce now supports Duo’s latest authentication experience to make logins more seamless and secure. To use two-factor authentication, merchants need to update their Admin settings with a new client ID and Secret.

Encryption Keys

Managing encryption keys is now easier and more reliable. You can securely update and re-encrypt sensitive data, such as payment information and system settings, using straightforward command-line steps.

Encryption Commands:

encryption:data:list-re-encryptors – Shows a list of available data re-encryptors
encryption:data:re-encrypt – Re-encrypts encrypted data using a current encryption key
encryption:key:change – Change the encryption key inside the env.php file

One-Time Password (OTP)

This fix addresses a prior issue with one-time passwords (OTPs). The updated setting now clearly explains how OTPs function, and the default value has been modified for improved compatibility and a smoother login experience.

Subresource Integrity (SRI)

SRI safeguards your store against unauthorized changes to static files. It has been restructured to enhance speed and reliability. Now, SRI operates automatically in the background, eliminating the need for manual fixes or redeployments after clearing the cache.

Platform Enhancements

Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 introduces several key platform enhancements to ensure compatibility with the latest technologies and improve overall performance.

Database:

MariaDB 11.4 LTS

Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 is now compatible with MariaDB 11.4 LTS, which is supported until 2029. While MariaDB 10.6 remains supported, upgrading to version 11.4 is recommended to maintain system integrity and performance.

MySQL 8.4 LTS

Compatibility with MySQL 8.4 LTS has been introduced, with support extending to 2032. Although MySQL 8.0 is still supported, upgrading to version 8.4 is advised to stay current with technological advancements.

PhP

PHP 8.4

This release adds compatibility with PHP 8.4 for Adobe Commerce, including bundled extensions and Adobe-owned services. While PHP 8.3 remains supported, PHP 8.2 compatibility is maintained for upgrade purposes.

PHP 8.1 has been removed from all Adobe Commerce project libraries and dependencies; therefore, upgrading to PHP 8.3 or 8.4 is necessary before transitioning to Adobe Commerce 2.4.8.

OpenSearch

Adobe Commerce is now optimized for OpenSearch 2.19 and is no longer compatible with Elasticsearch. Verify your database version and plan a migration from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch if required.

Adobe Commerce Extension

B2B

Company Hierarchy Management (Frontend Admins)

B2B buyers can manage their own company structure directly from the frontend – like adding departments or setting roles – without needing help from store admins. It fills a big functionality gap in previous versions.

Quote Template Document Integration

Sellers can now embed document links (from DocuSign or Adobe Sign) right into quote templates. This makes it easier to streamline approvals and agreements during the quoting process.

GraphQL

Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 enhances GraphQL by adding full support for custom attributes, including customer and address data. It improves caching for faster performance and reduced load times. These updates make storefront and PWA integrations more efficient and responsive.
