Description

Hugo is a static site generator. Starting in version 0.123.0 and prior to version 0.125.3, title arguments in Markdown for links and images not escaped in internal render hooks. Hugo users who are impacted are those who have these hooks enabled and do not trust their Markdown content files. The issue is patched in v0.125.3. As a workaround, replace the templates with user defined templates or disable the internal templates.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/gohugoio/hugo, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/gohugoio/hugo to 0.125.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-32875 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
