Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

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
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-2026-25895 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-25895. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
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.
