Impact

CVSS 8.8, EPSS 87.3%, PoC available. Sitecore is a major enterprise CMS platform used by Fortune 500 companies. Even content author-level access can exploit this vulnerability. Sitecore deployments typically host public-facing websites containing customer data and marketing assets.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A content author with basic upload permissions crafts a ZIP file containing an ASPX webshell with a path traversal filename (../../webshell.aspx). They upload it through Sitecore's media library. The extraction writes the webshell to the web root. The attacker accesses it via HTTP, gaining OS-level access to the IIS server hosting Sitecore.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Why: HIGH severity + EPSS > 10%.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 14, 2026

Sitecore Experience Manager, Platform, and Commerce versions 9.0 through 10.4 contain a Zip Slip vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to write arbitrary files outside the intended upload directory. By crafting ZIP archives with path traversal entries, attackers can overwrite application files and achieve remote code execution.

Zip Slip vulnerability in Sitecore CMS allows authenticated attackers to write arbitrary files to the web root for RCE.

RemediationAI

Apply the latest Sitecore security patch. Implement server-level controls to prevent file writes outside designated directories. Restrict upload permissions to trusted users. Monitor the web root for unexpected ASPX file creation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The file upload functionality accepts ZIP archives and extracts their contents without properly validating entry paths. By including entries with ../../ prefixes in the ZIP archive, an attacker can write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem. Writing an ASPX webshell to the Sitecore web root achieves code execution. The vulnerability requires authentication but not administrative privileges.

DescriptionCVE.org

Sitecore Experience Manager (XM), Experience Platform (XP), and Experience Commerce (XC) versions 9.0 through 9.3 and 10.0 through 10.4 are affected by a Zip Slip vulnerability. A remote, authenticated attacker can exploit this issue by sending a crafted HTTP request to upload a ZIP archive containing path traversal sequences, allowing arbitrary file writes and leading to code execution.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Sitecore XM, XP, and XC customers running versions 9.0-9.3 and 10.0-10.4 face an immediate risk of unauthorized code execution through a Zip Slip vulnerability that requires only authenticated access. With a public exploit available and no patch released, this poses a critical threat to organizations using affected Sitecore instances for e-commerce, marketing automation, or customer experience management.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block ZIP files with path traversal patterns (../ sequences); restrict file upload endpoints to whitelisted internal IP ranges; enforce principle of least privilege on administrative accounts; disable the ZIP upload feature entirely if not critical to operations; enable detailed logging and alerting on all upload activity; segment Sitecore instances from production systems and databases using network controls; conduct regular code reviews of upload handling logic.

Attack Technique

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

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