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
Pega Customer Service Framework versions 8.7.0 through 25.1.0 are affected by a Unrestricted file upload vulnerability, where a privileged user could potentially upload a malicious file.

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 confidence

Pega Customer Service Framework versions 8.7.0 through 25.1.0 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability allowing privileged users to upload files without proper validation, potentially enabling malicious file execution.

MitigationImplement strict file type validation, enforce file content verification (not just extension checking), add malware scanning for uploaded files, and restrict upload permissions to minimum necessary privileges.

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. Identify Pega Customer Service Framework version
    Locate the installed version through Pega admin console, about Pega screen, or deployment metadata. Compare the version number to the affected range 8.7.0 through 25.1.0.
    Affected if Installed version falls within 8.7.0 to 25.1.0 inclusive
  2. Verify file upload capability is present
    Determine if the Pega Customer Service Framework file upload functionality is deployed and accessible in the environment. Check for upload-related case types, flows, or web mashup components.
    Affected if File upload functionality exists in the deployment
  3. Check upload permissions for privileged users
    Review Pega access control and role configuration to confirm whether privileged users (such as administrators or supervisors) have permissions to use file upload features.
    Affected if Privileged user roles include file upload permissions
  4. Inspect file validation configuration
    Examine the file upload configuration settings, rules, or data transforms that handle uploaded files. Verify whether file type validation and content verification are implemented.
    Affected if No file type validation or content verification is configured for uploads
  5. Check uploaded file storage location
    Determine where uploaded files are stored (database, file system, external storage) and whether these files are accessible via web URL or can be executed directly.
    Affected if Uploaded files are stored in a web-accessible location without execution restrictions

Environment is affected if Pega Customer Service Framework version 8.7.0 through 25.1.0 is installed with file upload functionality accessible to privileged users lacking proper file validation controls.
