Summary
Workarounds
If immediate upgrade is not possible:
- Manually disable password reset routes in the application configuration
- Implement additional access controls at the web server or proxy level to block access to the reset my password URL.
- Monitor for suspicious password reset attempts from disabled accounts
Impact
When Flask-AppBuilder is configured to use OAuth, LDAP, or other non-database authentication methods, the password reset endpoint remains registered and accessible, despite not being displayed in the user interface. This allows an enabled user to reset their password and be able to create JWT tokens even after the user is disabled on the authentication provider.
The application does not adequately verify the identity of a user, device, or process before granting access. Typical impact: unauthorized access to functions or data reserved for authenticated parties.
CVE-2025-58065 has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low 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 (4.8.1); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

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
Upgrade to Flask-AppBuilder version 4.8.1 or later
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-58065? CVE-2025-58065 is a medium-severity improper authentication vulnerability in flask-appbuilder (pip), affecting versions < 4.8.1. It is fixed in 4.8.1. The application does not adequately verify the identity of a user, device, or process before granting access.
- How severe is CVE-2025-58065? CVE-2025-58065 has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). 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 flask-appbuilder are affected by CVE-2025-58065? flask-appbuilder (pip) versions < 4.8.1 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-58065? Yes. CVE-2025-58065 is fixed in 4.8.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2025-58065 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-58065 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-2025-58065 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.
- How do I fix CVE-2025-58065? Upgrade
