CVE-2025-50692
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 · uneditedFoxCMS <=v1.2.5 is vulnerable to Code Execution in admin/template_file/editFile.html.
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 confidenceFoxCMS versions 1.2.5 and below contain an authenticated code execution vulnerability in the admin/template_file/editFile.html component, allowing administrators with access to the template editor to write and execute arbitrary code on the server.

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 FoxCMS installationLocate FoxCMS by checking for its characteristic file structure, database configuration, or web application fingerprints (look for 'foxcms' in URLs, cookies, or page source)Affected if FoxCMS is present in the environment
-
Determine installed FoxCMS versionCheck the version file or admin dashboard within FoxCMS (commonly found in admin panels, README, or version configuration files)Affected if The installed version is 1.2.6 or lower (or any version <= 1.2.6)
-
Verify admin panel accessibilityAttempt to access the /admin/ endpoint or locate the admin login portal; check network logs for admin panel access attemptsAffected if The admin interface is exposed and accessible to the user checking the environment
-
Confirm template editor component existsCheck for the presence of the admin/template_file/editFile.html file within the FoxCMS web directoryAffected if The editFile.html component exists in the expected path and is accessible to authenticated admin users
-
Review template files for unauthorized codeExamine template files in the FoxCMS template directory for suspicious PHP code, shell commands, or encoded payloads that were not intentionally deployedAffected if Unexpected or malicious code is found in template files, indicating possible exploitation
A user is affected if FoxCMS version 1.2.6 or lower is installed, the admin panel is accessible, and the template editor component (admin/template_file/editFile.html) exists and is enabled for administrators.

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.
From vendor dataRestrict admin panel access to trusted users only, disable the template editing functionality until a patched version is available, and monitor for unauthorized admin access.
