fuxa-servernpmDescription
Summary
Description A path traversal vulnerability in FUXA allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files to arbitrary locations on the server filesystem. This affects FUXA through version 1.2.9. This issue has been patched in FUXA version 1.2.10.
Impact
This affects all deployments, including those with runtime.settings.secureEnabled set to true.
Exploitation allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to overwrite application and system files. If the attacker can overwrite application code, startup scripts, or configuration files that are later executed/loaded, RCE is likely. Depending on deployment configuration and permissions, this may lead to full system compromise and could further expose connected ICS/SCADA environments to follow-on actions.
Patches
This issue has been patched in FUXA version 1.2.10. Users are strongly encouraged to update to the latest available release.
Notes
GitHub stated this vulnerability is identical to CVE-2025-69981, which was published against the repository out of band before coordinated disclosure concluded. CVE-2025-69981 describes a "CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type" vulnerability. While a CWE-434 is present, it was an unsafe, intended feature of the application that has been locked behind authentication. This report describes a "CWE-35: Path Traversal" that enables an arbitrary file write.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fuxa-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update fuxa-server to 1.2.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25895 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Treat uploaded files as untrusted until proven otherwise: validate the actual content type rather than the supplied extension, store uploads outside the web root on a volume mounted without execute permission, and rename them to server-generated identifiers so an attacker cannot choose the path a request will later resolve.
How to detect CVE-2026-25895
A community-maintained Nuclei template exists for this CVE. You can scan for it directly:
nuclei -id cve-2026-25895 -u https://target- Template
- FUXA <= 1.2.9 - Unauthenticated Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Write
- Severity
- critical
- Impact
- Unauthenticated attackers can write arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem reachable by the service account, including the public web root, cron directories, and SSH authorized_keys, leading to full remote code execution on the host running FUXA.
- Remediation
- Upgrade FUXA to version 1.2.10 or later, which validates and contains the `destination` parameter to the intended application directory and requires administrator authentication on /api/upload.
