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
A Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in the MDX Rendering Engine in Mintlify Platform before 2025-11-15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via inline JSX expressions in an MDX 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 · high confidence

A Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in the MDX Rendering Engine of Mintlify Platform allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting malicious inline JSX expressions within MDX files. This enables complete remote code execution without authentication, rated critical due to the CVSS score of 9.8.

MitigationUpgrade Mintlify Platform to version after 2025-11-15 to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict MDX file uploads or disable MDX rendering functionality until the patch can be applied.

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 your Mintlify version
    Locate the version information for your Mintlify deployment (typically found in package.json, package-lock.json, or the admin/settings panel of the Mintlify dashboard). Compare this version against the release date 2025-11-15.
    Affected if The installed version is dated before 2025-11-15 or the version number cannot be confirmed as the patched release.
  2. Verify MDX rendering is enabled
    Check your Mintlify configuration files (typically mint.json or similar configuration in your docs repository) for MDX-related settings. Look for whether MDX processing is explicitly enabled or allowed.
    Affected if MDX rendering is enabled and the Mintlify version is unpatched.
  3. Identify accessible MDX endpoints
    Review your deployed documentation site to identify any routes that render MDX content. Check if MDX files (typically .mdx extensions) are served through publicly accessible URLs.
    Affected if MDX content is served over the network and the version is unpatched.
  4. Audit custom MDX components
    Examine any custom MDX components or plugins configured in your Mintlify setup. Look for components that may accept user-supplied input and could be exploited through inline JSX expressions.
    Affected if Custom MDX components exist and the version is unpatched.

You are affected if your Mintlify deployment runs a version dated before 2025-11-15 and actively processes or serves MDX content.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2025-11-15 or later
Fixed in 2025-11-15
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Mintlify Platform to version after 2025-11-15 to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict MDX file uploads or disable MDX rendering functionality until the patch can be applied.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Any Mintlify release dated 2025-11-15 or later

  1. Upgrade Mintlify to any version released on or after 2025-11-15, as this version includes the patch for the SSTI vulnerability in the MDX Rendering Engine.
  2. After upgrading, verify that MDX files with inline JSX expressions are rendered safely without arbitrary code execution.
  3. If self-hosted, ensure your deployment pulls the latest Mintlify version released after 2025-11-15.
