Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
OpenKM 6.3.12 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary Java/BeanShell code through the /admin/Scripting endpoint. Attackers can submit malicious script content with an action=Evaluate parameter to execute operating system commands in the context of the OpenKM application server.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in OpenKM Community Edition (≤6.3.12) and Professional Edition (≤7.1.47) allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary Java/BeanShell code via the /admin/Scripting endpoint using the action=Evaluate parameter. Publicly available exploit code exists (Exploit-DB 52520 and a Nuclei template from Terra System Labs), though no active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV; EPSS sits at 0.42% (62th percentile), reflecting moderate-but-not-widespread interest.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires (1) network reachability to the OpenKM web interface, specifically the /admin/Scripting endpoint, and (2) valid credentials for an account in the OpenKM administrator role (CVSS PR:H) - there is no separate token, CSRF defence, or out-of-band approval gating the Evaluate action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N rates this 8.6 because exploitation is network-reachable with no user interaction and yields total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), but the PR:H requirement - full administrator credentials - is the dominant limiting factor and aligns with SSVC's 'Automatable: no' classification. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained OpenKM administrator credentials - through phishing, password reuse, an exposed default install, or credential stuffing against an internet-facing instance - sends an authenticated POST to /admin/Scripting with action=Evaluate and a BeanShell payload such as Runtime.getRuntime().exec("...") to spawn a reverse shell as the application server user. Because a working Exploit-DB module (52520) and a ready-to-run Nuclei template are publicly available, weaponization requires no original research; from initial shell the attacker can read or exfiltrate the entire document repository, tamper with stored files, and pivot into the underlying database or host network. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the provided references include the vendor site and third-party advisories but do not name a fixed Community or Professional Edition build, so operators should monitor https://www.openkm.com/ and the Terra System Labs and VulnCheck advisories for a patched release announcement. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all OpenKM Community Edition 6.3.12 and earlier, and Professional Edition 7.1.47 and earlier instances in your environment; restrict network access to the /admin/Scripting endpoint to dedicated administrative networks only; enable audit logging for all administrator activities. …
