Impact
This is an additional fix for https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-4w8r-3xrw-v25g
This is a high-impact, low-complexity attack vector. To mitigate the issue, users running Craft installations before the fixed versions are encouraged to update to at least that version.
Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment. Typical impact: arbitrary code execution within the application's privilege context.
CVE-2025-32432 has a CVSS score of 10.0 (Critical). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (3.9.15, 4.14.15, 5.6.17); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.
Affected versions
Security releases
Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
craftcms/cms to 3.9.15 or later; craftcms/cms to 4.14.15 or later; craftcms/cms to 5.6.17 or later

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-32432? CVE-2025-32432 is a critical-severity code injection vulnerability in craftcms/cms (composer), affecting versions >= 3.0.0-RC1, <= 3.9.14. It is fixed in 3.9.15, 4.14.15, 5.6.17. Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment.
- How severe is CVE-2025-32432? CVE-2025-32432 has a CVSS score of 10.0 (Critical). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of craftcms/cms are affected by CVE-2025-32432? craftcms/cms (composer) versions >= 3.0.0-RC1, <= 3.9.14 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-32432? Yes. CVE-2025-32432 is fixed in 3.9.15, 4.14.15, 5.6.17. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2025-32432 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-32432 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-32432 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
