Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-59539?

CVE-2025-59539 affects the following packages: DotNetNuke.Core (NuGet). Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix CVE-2025-59539?

Update DotNetNuke.Core to 10.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-59539 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-59539 in my NuGet dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for DotNetNuke.Core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-59539 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-2025-59539?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2025-59539 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2025-59539 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-59539 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.

Description

DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. Prior to version 10.1.0, when embedding information in the Biography field, even if that field is not rich-text, users could inject javascript code that would run in the context of the website and to any other user that can view the profile including administrators and/or superusers. This issue has been patched in version 10.1.0.
