Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-58047
\nSeverity: High (7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise and potential data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Volto CMS | 19.0.0-alpha.1 to before 19.0.0-alpha.4
\nVolto CMS | 18.0.0 to before 18.24.0
\nVolto CMS | 17.0.0 to before 17.22.1
\nVolto CMS | Prior to 16.34.0<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s a conceptual example:<\/p>\n

GET \/exploit\/endpoint HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
