DNN CKEditor Provider allows unauthenticated upload out-of-the-box

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 28, 2025 in dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform • Updated Oct 29, 2025

Package

nuget Dnn.Platform (NuGet)

Affected versions

< 10.1.1

Patched versions

Description

Summary

The out-of-box experience for HTML editing allows unauthenticated users to upload files. This opens a potential vector to other security issues and is not needed on most implementations.

Details

The new out-of-box experience blocks that endpoint to unauthenticated users. If there is a real need for the implementation to allow unauthenticated uploads, then the web.config can be edited by the implementer to remove that block and open the endpoint to the public.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
