CVE-2024-11625
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInformation Exposure Through an Error Message vulnerability in Progress Software Corporation Sitefinity.This issue affects Sitefinity: from 4.0 through 14.4.8142, from 15.0.8200 through 15.0.8229, from 15.1.8300 through 15.1.8327, from 15.2.8400 through 15.2.8421.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSitefinity CMS exposes sensitive information through error messages. Attackers can trigger error conditions to receive detailed system information such as file paths, configuration details, or stack traces that should not be visible in production environments.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed Sitefinity versionLocate the Sitefinity assembly DLL (Telerik.Sitefinity.dll) in the bin folder of the web application and check its file version property, or check the Sitefinity version displayed in the administration backend under Administration > Version Info.Affected if The version falls within any of these ranges: >= 4.0 and < 14.4.8143; >= 15.0.8200 and < 15.0.8230; >= 15.1.8300 and < 15.1.8328; >= 15.2.8400 and < 15.2.8422
-
Inspect web.config customErrors settingOpen the web.config file in the Sitefinity root directory and locate the <system.web> section. Check the mode attribute of the <customErrors> element.Affected if The customErrors mode is set to Off or is missing entirely, allowing detailed error pages to be displayed to remote users.
-
Check for custom error page configurationExamine the web.config file for <error> elements under <customErrors> that define custom error pages for status codes 500 or 404. Also check if Sitefinity has been configured with custom error templates in the backend under Administration > Settings > Advanced > System > Error Pages.Affected if No custom error pages are configured and the application relies on default ASP.NET error handling, which may expose stack traces.
-
Trigger a test error conditionRequest a non-existent page or deliberately invoke an error condition on the Sitefinity site, such as accessing a deliberately broken URL or triggering a known error condition, then observe the response.Affected if The returned error page contains stack traces, file paths, server variables, configuration details, or other sensitive system information rather than a generic error message.
A user is affected if they are running an affected Sitefinity version AND their customErrors mode is set to Off or is misconfigured, allowing detailed error information to be exposed to remote users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped14.4.814315.0.823015.1.8328
Configure custom error pages in Sitefinity to display generic messages in production, disable detailed exception handling, and ensure web.config customErrors mode is set to RemoteOnly or On.
Sitefinity 15.2.8422 or later (or corresponding fixed version in your major branch: 14.4.8143+, 15.0.8230+, 15.1.8328+)
- 1. Identify the current Sitefinity version installed in your environment
- 2. Based on your current major version line, plan an upgrade to the minimum fixed version: for 14.4.x upgrade to 14.4.8143 or later; for 15.0.x upgrade to 15.0.8230 or later; for 15.1.x upgrade to 15.1.8328 or later; for 15.2.x upgrade to 15.2.8422 or later
- 3. Review the upgrade path and release notes for the target version on the Progress Community portal (community.progress.com)
- 4. Perform a full backup of the Sitefinity database and application files before upgrading
- 5. Test the upgrade in a staging environment before deploying to production
- 6. Apply the upgrade following Progress documentation for your specific deployment method
