Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-08 19:32 – Updated: 2025-08-11 13:56

Summary

Craft CMS has a theoretical bypass for CVE-2025-23209

Details

Pre-requisites:

Have a compromised security key (https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/securing-craft#keep-your-secrets-secret)
Somehow, manage to create an arbitrary file in Craft’s /storage/backups folder.

With those two pieces in place, you could create a specific, malicious request to the /updater/restore-db endpoint to execute CLI commands remotely.

Fixed in https://github.com/craftcms/cms/commit/a19d46be78a9ca1ea474012a10e97bed0d787f57

CVE-2025-54417 (GCVE-0-2025-54417)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-09 01:31 – Updated: 2025-08-11 13:38

Summary

Craft is a platform for creating digital experiences. Versions 4.13.8 through 4.16.2 and 5.5.8 through 5.8.3 contain a vulnerability that can bypass CVE-2025-23209: "Craft CMS has a potential RCE with a compromised security key". To exploit this vulnerability, the project must meet these requirements: have a compromised security key and create an arbitrary file in Craft's /storage/backups folder. With those criteria in place, attackers could create a specific, malicious request to the /updater/restore-db endpoint and execute CLI commands remotely. This issue is fixed in versions 4.16.3 and 5.8.4.
