Summary
Uptime Kuma Server-side Template Injection (SSTI) in Notification Templates Allows Arbitrary File Read
Impact
This is a post-authentication Server-side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability that allows an authenticated user to perform arbitrary file read on the server.
GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH 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. 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. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

- How severe is GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH? GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH 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 uptime-kuma are affected by GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH? uptime-kuma (npm) versions = 2.0.0-dev.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH 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 GHSA-VFFH-C9PQ-4CRH 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.
