No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2025-15022 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-15022?

CVE-2025-15022 affects the following packages: com.vaadin:vaadin-server (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin-server (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin-spreadsheet-flow (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin-spreadsheet-flow (Maven), com.vaadin:vaadin-spreadsheet-flow (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2025-15022?

Update com.vaadin:vaadin-server to 7.7.50 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-15022 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-15022 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-15022 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2025-15022?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-15022 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2025-15022 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-15022 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2025-15022?

CVE-2025-15022 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 27th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2025-15022?

CVE-2025-15022 is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2025-15022 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-15022 was published on January 5, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Action captions in Vaadin accept HTML by default but were not sanitized, potentially allowing Cross-site Scripting (XSS) if caption content is derived from user input.

In Vaadin Framework 7 and 8, the Action class is a general-purpose class that may be used by multiple components. The fixed versions sanitize captions by default and provide an API to explicitly enable HTML content mode for backwards compatibility.

In Vaadin 23 and newer, the Action class is only used by the Spreadsheet component. The fixed versions sanitize HTML using Jsoup with a relaxed safelist.

Vaadin 14 is not affected as Spreadsheet component was not supported.

Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation or upgrade. Releases that have fixed this issue include:

Product version Vaadin 7.0.0 - 7.7.49 Vaadin 8.0.0 - 8.29.1 Vaadin 23.1.0 - 23.6.5 Vaadin 24.0.0 - 24.8.13 Vaadin 24.9.0 - 24.9.6
