Views: 21

Overview

The CVE-2025-58047 vulnerability presents a severe risk to websites and applications running on certain versions of the Volto CMS, a popular React-based content management system. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a NodeJS server to quit with an error, potentially resulting in system compromise and data leakage. It is essential for organizations to address this vulnerability promptly to maintain their system integrity and protect sensitive data.

Ameeba Chat Icon A new way to communicate

Ameeba Chat is built on encrypted identity, not personal profiles.

Message, call, share files, and coordinate with identities kept separate.

  • • Encrypted identity
  • • Ameeba Chat authenticates access
  • • Aliases and categories
  • • End-to-end encrypted chat, calls, and files
  • • Secure notes for sensitive information

Private communication, rethought.

Product | Affected Versions

Volto CMS | 19.0.0-alpha.1 to before 19.0.0-alpha.4
Volto CMS | 18.0.0 to before 18.24.0
Volto CMS | 17.0.0 to before 17.22.1
Volto CMS | Prior to 16.34.0

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability lies in the handling of specific URLs by the NodeJS server part of Volto. When an anonymous user visits a particular URL, it triggers an error that causes the server to quit. An attacker could use this exploit to cause the server to repeatedly quit, leading to potential system compromise and data leakage.

Conceptual Example Code

An example of how this vulnerability might be exploited could be an HTTP GET request to the specific URL that triggers the server to quit. Here’s a conceptual example:

GET /exploit/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com

The above request could potentially cause the NodeJS server to quit with an error, creating a window of opportunity for further exploits. It is crucial to patch this vulnerability or implement a WAF/IDS as a temporary mitigation measure.
