CVE-2024-48925: Umbraco CMS Improper Access Control Vulnerability Allows Low-Privilege Users to Access Webhook API
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.38% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Umbraco.CMS (NuGet) 14.3.0.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 0.0, NVD 6.5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Umbraco.CMS (NuGet) 14.3.0 or later.
