CVE-2025-46731
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 · uneditedCraft is a content management system. Versions of Craft CMS on the 4.x branch prior to 4.14.13 and on the 5.x branch prior to 5.6.16 contains a potential remote code execution vulnerability via Twig SSTI. One must have administrator access and `ALLOW_ADMIN_CHANGES` must be enabled for this to work. Users should update to the patched versions 4.14.13 or 5.6.15 to mitigate the issue.

Upgrade to Craft CMS 4.14.13 (for 4.x users) or Craft CMS 5.6.15 (for 5.x users)
- 1. Create a complete backup of your Craft CMS files and database before updating.
- 2. If using Composer, run `composer require craftcms/cms:^4.14.13 --no-interaction` to update to the patched 4.x version, or `composer require craftcms/cms:^5.6.15 -- no-interaction` for the 5.x branch.
- 3. If not using Composer, download Craft CMS 4.14.13 or 5.6.15 from craftcms.com and follow the manual update instructions.
- 4. Clear any caches after the update using the Craft CLI: `php craft clear-caches/all`
- 5. Verify the update was successful by checking the Craft control panel footer shows the new version number.
- 6. Test critical functionality in the control panel to ensure the update did not break existing features.
