How severe is CVE-2025-8573?

CVE-2025-8573 has a CVSS score of 4.8/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-8573?

CVE-2025-8573 affects the following packages: concrete5/concrete5 (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix CVE-2025-8573?

Update concrete5/concrete5 to 9.4.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-8573 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-8573 in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for concrete5/concrete5. 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-2025-8573 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-2025-8573?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2025-8573 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-2025-8573 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 1 known exploit references for CVE-2025-8573, including 1 documented proof-of-concept exploit on Exploit-DB. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2025-8573?

CVE-2025-8573 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 34th 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-2025-8573?

CVE-2025-8573 is classified as Improper Input Validation (CWE-20), Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). These weakness types 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-2025-8573 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-8573 was published on August 5, 2025 and was last updated on April 10, 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

Concrete CMS versions 9 through 9.4.2 are vulnerable to Stored XSS from Home Folder on Members Dashboard page. Version 8 was not affected. A rogue admin could set up a malicious folder containing XSS to which users could be directed upon login. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 2.0 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.
