{"id":"CVE-2025-59428","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"EspoCRM allows arbitrary user creation via stored SVG injection and CSRF","description":"EspoCRM is an open source customer relationship management application. In versions before 9.1.9, a vulnerability allows arbitrary user creation, including administrative accounts, through a combination of stored SVG injection and lack of CSRF protection. An attacker with Knowledge Base edit permissions can embed a malicious SVG element containing a link in the body field of an article. When an authenticated user clicks the malicious link, they are redirected to an attacker-controlled HTML page that executes a CSRF request against the api/v1/User endpoint. If the victim is prompted for and enters their credentials, an attacker-controlled account is created with privileges determined by the CSRF payload. This issue has been patched in version 9.1.9.","publishedAt":"2025-10-14T14:38:20.090Z","updatedAt":"2025-10-14T16:03:42.715Z","severity":{"score":5.4,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["espocrm espocrm"],"affected":[{"vendor":"espocrm","product":"espocrm","versions":[{"version":"< 9.1.9","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/security/advisories/GHSA-c26c-wvhr-fr6r"],"weaknesses":["CWE-352"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:09:39.787Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2025/59xxx/CVE-2025-59428.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.1","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2025-59428","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2025-10-14T14:38:20.090Z","dateUpdated":"2025-10-14T16:03:42.715Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2025-09-15T19:13:16.905Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"EspoCRM allows arbitrary user creation via stored SVG injection and CSRF","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"EspoCRM is an open source customer relationship management application.
