ACP2E-3789: Updating a product via WebAPI with a media ID causes the system to duplicate media files…

Updating a product via WebAPI with a media ID causes the system to duplicate media files instead of replacing them, creating new files with each API call and resulting in a buildup of images that overloads the /pub/media/catalog/products/cache/ directory. Quality patch ACP2E-3789 for magento/module-catalog applies to Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce 2.4.5 to 2.4.8-p5.

Issue

Updating a product via WebAPI with a media ID causes the system to duplicate media files instead of replacing them, creating new files with each API call and resulting in a buildup of images that overloads the /pub/media/catalog/products/cache/ directory.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a product and add an image. 1. Get product details using the REST API at base_url/rest/V1/products/<sku>. 1. Perform a PUT request to update the product, keeping the media_gallery_entries unchanged (same image name and file). 1. Check the pub/media/catalog/product/xx/yy directory before and after the update.

Adobe's page lists 2.4.5 - 2.4.8 as compatible; the versions below are resolved from the current QPT constraints and are the ones the tool will offer.

Adobe scheduled the permanent fix for 2.4.9.

Install

Install the Quality Patches Tool with composer require magento/quality-patches, apply the prerequisites listed for all files applicable to your distribution and version first, then run vendor/bin/magento-patches apply ACP2E-3789. On Cloud, add ACP2E-3789 under stage.build.QUALITY_PATCHES in .magento.env.yaml.

For cweagans/composer-patches, choose a compatible version below and download the bundle. Copy its ACP2E-3789/ folder into patches/composer/, merge composer.patches.json into composer.json, then run composer install. Bundle prerequisites the same way and list them first. Paths are relative to each package root, using the default -p1 level. Prefer local files when configuring composer-patches; a remote URL can change.
