CVE-2025-15540
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 · unedited"Functions" module in Raytha CMS allows privileged users to write custom code to add functionality to application. Due to a lack of sandboxing or access restrictions, JavaScript code executed through Raytha’s “functions” feature can instantiate .NET components and perform arbitrary operations within the application’s hosting environment. This issue was fixed in version 1.4.6.
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 · high confidenceRaytha CMS versions prior to 1.4.6 contain a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in the Functions module where the lack of sandboxing allows authenticated privileged users to execute arbitrary .NET operations through custom JavaScript code, effectively achieving code execution within the application hosting environment.

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.
-
Identify Raytha CMS installation versionLocate the version information for your Raytha CMS installation, typically found in the admin dashboard under System settings, or by inspecting the application binaries/config files for the version stringAffected if The installed version is any release prior to 1.4.6 (for example, 1.4.5, 1.4.0, or earlier)
-
Locate the Functions moduleAccess the Raytha CMS admin panel and navigate to the Modules or Functions section to identify if the Functions module is present and enabledAffected if The Functions module is installed and enabled in the application
-
Verify user access to Functions featureReview the user roles and permissions configuration in the admin panel to determine which user roles have access to creating or editing custom functionsAffected if Any user account with privileged access (administrator or elevated permissions) can access the Functions module functionality
-
Inspect function execution capabilitiesCheck the configuration or code of the Functions module to confirm whether custom JavaScript or code can be written and executed directly by usersAffected if The Functions module allows authenticated privileged users to write and execute custom code operations without sandboxing restrictions
You are affected if your Raytha CMS version is below 1.4.6 AND the Functions module is enabled with privileged user access to create or edit custom functions, as this combination allows unauthenticated or low-privilege escalation to code execution.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped1.4.6
Upgrade Raytha CMS to version 1.4.6 or later. If the Functions module is not required, disable it to reduce attack surface.
1.4.6
- Backup your current Raytha CMS database and files before proceeding with the upgrade
- Download Raytha CMS version 1.4.6 from the official Raytha repository or release channel
- Review the official upgrade instructions provided in the Raytha 1.4.6 release notes
- Apply the upgrade to your production environment following standard upgrade procedures
- Verify that the 'Functions' module now properly sandboxes or restricts access to .NET components
- Confirm that custom JavaScript code in the Functions feature can no longer instantiate arbitrary .NET components
