Summary

Impact Stored XSS vulnerability in content titles allow authenticated users with content creation permissions to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when viewed by higher-privileged users. Malicious user must have an account with control panel access and content creation permissions. This vulnerability can be exploited to allow super admin accounts to be created. Patches This has been fixed in 6.2.3.

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-2026-25759 has a CVSS score of 8.7 (High). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and user interaction required. 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 (6.2.3). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

composer

  • statamic/cms (>= 6.0.0, < 6.2.3)

Security releases

  • statamic/cms → 6.2.3 (composer)
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-2026-25759 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

How severe is CVE-2026-25759?

CVE-2026-25759 has a CVSS score of 8.7 (High). 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 statamic/cms are affected by CVE-2026-25759?

statamic/cms (composer) versions >= 6.0.0, < 6.2.3 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2026-25759?

Is CVE-2026-25759 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2026-25759 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-2026-25759 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-2026-25759?

Upgrade statamic/cms to 6.2.3 or later.
