CVE-2025-6466
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was found in ageerle ruoyi-ai 2.0.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function speechToTextTranscriptionsV2/upload of the file ruoyi-modules/ruoyi-system/src/main/java/org/ruoyi/system/service/impl/SseServiceImpl.java. The manipulation of the argument File leads to unrestricted upload. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.0.1 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as 4e93ac86d4891c59ecfcd27c051de9b3c5379315. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
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 · high confidenceThis is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the ruoyi-ai system's speech-to-text transcription upload function (speechToTextTranscriptionsV2/upload). The lack of proper file validation in SseServiceImpl.java allows attackers to upload arbitrary files to the server, potentially achieving remote code execution. The critical CVSS score of 9.8 reflects the network-exploitable, low-complexity nature requiring no authentication.

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 RuoYi AI deploymentSearch for RuoYi AI application files, typically deployed as a Java web application. Look for the characteristic directory structure containing 'ruoyi' or 'ruoyi-ai' in the application path.Affected if RuoYi AI system is present in the environment
-
Check installed versionLocate the version manifest or build files (pom.xml, application.yml, or version.properties) within the RuoYi AI deployment directory and compare the version number to 2.0.1.Affected if Installed version is below 2.0.1
-
Verify speech-to-text upload endpoint existsInspect the deployed SseServiceImpl.java file or its compiled class file within the application. Confirm that the speechToTextTranscriptionsV2/upload method is present and accessible.Affected if The upload endpoint exists in the deployment
-
Inspect upload directory for suspicious filesCheck common upload directories (typically /upload, /uploads, or /temp within the web root) for unexpected executable files such as .jsp, .php, .jar, .exe, or shell scripts that were not intentionally uploaded.Affected if Unexpected executable files are found in upload directories
-
Review access logs for upload endpoint probingSearch HTTP access logs for requests to paths containing 'speechToTextTranscriptionsV2/upload' or similar variations, especially with unusual file extensions or multiple POST requests from external IPs.Affected if Log entries show suspicious requests to the upload endpoint
The environment is affected if RuoYi AI version is below 2.0.1 and the speech-to-text upload endpoint is exposed.

dbcve · scoped2.0.1
Upgrade the affected component from version 2.0.0 to version 2.0.1, which contains the patch commit 4e93ac86d4891c59ecfcd27c051de9b3c5379315. Prior to upgrade, review server logs for signs of exploitation since this vulnerability is publicly known.
2.0.1
- 1. Ensure you have a complete backup of your current Ruoyi Ai installation and database.
- 2. Stop the running Ruoyi Ai application services.
- 3. Update your project dependencies or pull the latest version of the ruoyi-ai code from the repository.
- 4. Ensure you upgrade to version 2.0.1 or later which contains the fix for the unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the speechToTextTranscriptionsV2/upload function.
- 5. Rebuild the application with the new version.
- 6. Start the application and verify the service is running correctly.
- 7. Test that the file upload functionality in SseServiceImpl.java now properly validates uploaded files.
