DescriptionCVE.org

An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the ueditor component of MCMS v5.4.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted file.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using the ueditor component of MCMS face critical risk from CVE-2025-29287, a unrestricted file upload vulnerability rated CVSS 9.8. This could allow attackers to access or modify files outside intended directories, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or credentials. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Restrict file upload functionality via WAF; (2) Implement allowlist-based file type validation; (3) Use chroot/containerization to limit filesystem access.

Attack Technique

Malicious file upload attacks exploit insufficient validation when web applications accept user-provided files.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
