Description
DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. Prior to version 10.2.2, a user could upload a specially crafted SVG file that could include scripts that can target both authenticated and unauthenticated DNN users. The impact is increased if the scripts are run by a power user. Version 10.2.2 patches the issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability exists in DNN (DotNetNuke) platform versions prior to 10.2.2. An attacker can upload a specially crafted SVG file that contains malicious scripts. When the file is later rendered to any user—authenticated or not—the browser executes the contained scripts in the context of the viewer’s session. The impact is higher when the victim is a privileged user, because the scripts run with that user’s browser privileges.

Affected Systems

The issue affects installations of DNN Platform (formerly DotNetNuke) by dnnsoftware that are running any version before 10.2.2. Any deployment that has not applied the 10.2.2 patch is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.1 indicates high severity, and the EPSS score of 8 % suggests a moderate likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is uploading a malicious SVG file through the web interface; attackers with access to the upload functionality can embed scripts that later execute for all users who view the file.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch to DNN Platform 10.2.2 or later.
