Summary

An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Umbraco CMS v16.3.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted PDF file. While Umbraco provides hooks to perform file validation, it does not do implement filtering by default. Users are expected to implement their own validation. Note: This vulnerability is disputed by Ubraco.

Impact

What is cross-site scripting (XSS)?

Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.

Severity and exposure

CVE-2025-67288 has a CVSS score of 10.0 (Medium). 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.

No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

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 instead of chasing every advisory.

Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2025-67288 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

Remediation advice

No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-67288 yet.

In the interim: Validate and encode untrusted input before rendering it as HTML. Applying a Content Security Policy reduces the impact if encoding is bypassed.

How severe is CVE-2025-67288?

CVE-2025-67288 has a CVSS score of 10.0 (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 Umbraco.Cms are affected by CVE-2025-67288?

Umbraco.Cms (nuget) versions <= 16.3.3 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2025-67288?

No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-67288 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.

Is CVE-2025-67288 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2025-67288 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-2025-67288 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-2025-67288?

No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Validate and encode untrusted input before rendering it as HTML. Applying a Content Security Policy reduces the impact if encoding is bypassed.
