CVE-2025-2917

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ChestnutCMS versions up to 1.5.3

Description A problematic issue was found in the readFile function of the /dev-api/cms/file/read API endpoint. The manipulation of the filePath argument leads to path traversal. This issue can be exploited remotely.

Recommendations For ChestnutCMS versions up to 1.5.3, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the readFile function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the /dev-api/cms/file/read API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the filePath argument in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
