CVE-2025-46731: Craft CMS Contains a Potential Remote Code Execution Vulnerability via Twig SSTI

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 29/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 75.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: craftcms/cms (Packagist) 4.14.13, 4.12.2, 5.6.15.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to craftcms/cms (Packagist) 4.14.13, 4.12.2, 5.6.15 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Craft is a content management system. Versions of Craft CMS on the 4.x branch prior to 4.14.13 and on the 5.x branch prior to 5.6.16 contains a potential remote code execution vulnerability via Twig SSTI. One must have administrator access and `ALLOW_ADMIN_CHANGES` must be enabled for this to work. Users should update to the patched versions 4.14.13 or 5.6.15 to mitigate the issue.
