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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate Craft CMS version file
    Check the composer.json file in the web root, or look for a version.php file in the craft/app/ directory (v3) or vendor/craftcms/cms/ (v4/v5)
    Affected if The installed version falls within the affected ranges: 3.0.0 to 3.9.14, 4.0.0 to 4.14.14, or 5.0.0 to 5.6.16
  2. Check admin panel version display
    Log into the Craft CMS control panel and navigate to Utilities > System Report, or check the footer of the admin dashboard for the version number
    Affected if The displayed version is less than 3.9.15 (for v3), less than 4.14.15 (for v4), or less than 5.6.17 (for v5)
  3. Query installed package version via Composer
    Run `composer show craftcms/cms` in the project directory to display the installed version details
    Affected if The installed version matches the affected version ranges listed in the CVE

If your Craft CMS installation version is 3.9.14 or lower, 4.14.14 or lower, or 5.6.16 or lower, you are running a vulnerable version and should treat this as a critical priority.

Interim mitigation

Upgrade Craft CMS to version 3.9.15, 4.14.15, or 5.6.17 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to 3.9.15 (for 3.x), 4.14.15 (for 4.x), or 5.6.17 (for 5.x) depending on your current major version

  1. 1. Back up your entire Craft CMS installation including the database before proceeding
  2. 2. Identify your current Craft CMS version by checking the composer.json file or the admin panel
  3. 3. For Craft CMS 3.x users: Run `composer require craftcms/cms:^3.9.15 --no-interaction` to upgrade to version 3.9.15
  4. 4. For Craft CMS 4.x users: Run `composer require craftcms/cms:^4.14.15 --no-interaction` to upgrade to version 4.14.15
  5. 5. For Craft CMS 5.x users: Run `composer require craftcms/cms:^5.6.17 --no-interaction` to upgrade to version 5.6.17
  6. 6. Run `composer update --no-interaction` to apply the changes
  7. 7. Clear any application caches after the upgrade
  8. 8. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the admin panel and testing critical functionality
Caveat Minor version upgrades within the same major version (e.g., 3.x to 3.9.15) typically have minimal breaking changes, but test in staging first
