Description
October is a Content Management System (CMS) and web platform. Versions prior to 3.7.14 and 4.1.10 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the SVG sanitization logic. The regex pattern used to strip event handler attributes (such as onclick or onload) could be bypassed using a crafted payload that exploits how the pattern matches attribute boundaries, allowing malicious SVG files to be uploaded through the Media Manager with embedded JavaScript. Exploitation could lead to privilege escalation if a superuser views or embeds the malicious SVG, and requires authenticated backend access with media upload permissions. The SVG must be viewed or embedded in a page for the payload to trigger. This issue has been fixed in versions 3.7.14 and 4.1.10.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for october/rain, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update october/rain to 4.1.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25133 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-25133 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-25133. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-25133 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-25133 across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
