Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-25062 exists.\n\nAffected product: backdropcms backdrop. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25062/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25062/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-25062","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25062/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-25062","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vrh8-g8q9-jhc6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Backdrop CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser via crafted content in CKEditor 5, potentially leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"backdrop_cms","vendor":"backdropcms"}],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"An XSS issue was discovered in Backdrop CMS 1.28.x before 1.28.5 and 1.29.x before 1.29.3. It doesn't sufficiently isolate long text content when the CKEditor 5 rich text editor is used. This allows a potential attacker to craft specialized HTML and JavaScript that may be executed when an administrator attempts to edit a piece of content. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the ability to create long text content (such as through the node or comment forms) and an administrator must edit (not view) the content that contains the malicious content. This problem only exists when using the CKEditor 5 module.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-12-14","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2024-12-14T20:25:33Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/rhburt/CVE-2025-25062","stars":2,"title":"Backdrop CMS 1.29.2 - Privilege Escalation via Stored XSS + CSRF"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in backdrop","id":"CVE-2025-25062","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in backdrop","id":"CVE-2025-25063"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in HMI GC-A2 series","id":"CVE-2025-25061"},"products":["backdrop"],"published":"2025-02-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-14771","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-08"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Backdrop CMS Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-42092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-07"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-19902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-19"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Backdrop CMS Host Header Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-63828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-18"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-44141","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-26"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-54123","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-34530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-09","vendors":["backdropcms"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser via crafted content in CKEditor 5, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25062/"}
