CVE-2025-59114
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 · uneditedWindu CMS is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in file uploading functionality. Malicious attacker can craft special website, which when visited by the victim, will automatically send malicious file to the server. Only version 4.1 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable. This issue was fixed in version 4.1 build 2250.
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 confidenceWindu CMS version 4.1 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in its file uploading functionality. An attacker can host a malicious webpage that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, will automatically trigger the victim's browser to send a crafted file upload request to the vulnerable CMS, potentially allowing unauthorized file uploads.

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.
-
Confirm Windu CMS installationCheck your web application's footer or admin dashboard for the CMS name and version brandingAffected if The application is not Windu CMS or the version is not 4.1, then this CVE does not apply
-
Identify the exact Windu CMS versionLocate the version number in the CMS (typically in footer, about page, or system info section)Affected if The version is 4.1 but the build number is not 2250 or higher (or build number cannot be determined)
-
Check for CSRF protection in file upload codeIf you have code access, inspect the file upload controller/action for CSRF token validation (look for token verification logic in the upload handler)Affected if The file upload functionality lacks CSRF token validation or uses no anti-CSRF mechanism
-
Test file upload endpoint for CSRF vulnerabilityAs an authenticated administrator, attempt to submit a file upload request without a CSRF token (using a tool like curl or Burp to remove any token parameters)Affected if The file upload request succeeds without a valid CSRF token, confirming the vulnerability exists
If you are running Windu CMS version 4.1 with a build number below 2250, and the file upload lacks CSRF protection, you are affected by this CVE.
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 · scopedUpgrade Windu CMS to version 4.1 build 2250 or later, which contains the CSRF protection fix for the file upload functionality.
