Security-check bypass via unescaped signed parameters
Published Nov 10, 2025 · Updated Nov 10, 2025
Argument injection in Cloudinary Node.js SDK before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to add unintended API parameters via ampersands. The api_sign_request path joins unescaped key-value strings with ampersands, so an ampersand inside a value becomes a new signed parameter. Exposure requires a consuming server application to pass attacker-controlled values into signed API requests; injected parameters enable security-check bypass or unauthorized changes to data and behavior.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
