CVE-2025-24372Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via unrestricted image uploads

Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Stored XSS in CKAN before 2.10.7 and 2.11.0 through 2.11.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in an administrator's browser. The profile and group image uploader accepts attacker-controlled content without consistently enforcing configured MIME types or a safe filename extension. Exploitation requires a registered account and an administrator to open the file, after which the script can issue requests through the administrator's session and alter site privileges.
