| CVE-2025-11165 | A sandbox escape vulnerability exists in dotCMS’s Velocity scripting engine (VTools) that allows authenticated users with scripting privileges to bypass class and package restrictions enforced by SecureUberspectorImpl. By dynamically modifying the Velocity engine’s runtime configuration and reinitializing its Uberspect, a malicious actor can remove the introspector.restrict.classes and introspector.restrict.packages protections. Once these restrictions are cleared, the attacker can access arbi | [email protected] | 9.4 | 0.30% | 2026-02-24 | 2026-03-03 |
| CVE-2024-3938 | The "reset password" login page accepted an HTML injection via URL parameters. This has already been rectified via patch, and as such it cannot be demonstrated via Demo site link.

| CVE-2024-3165 | System->Maintenance-> Log Files in dotCMS dashboard is providing the username/password for database connections in the log output. Nevertheless, this is a moderate issue as it requires a backend admin as well as that dbs are locked down by environment.

| CVE-2024-3164 | In dotCMS dashboard, the Tools and Log Files tabs under System → Maintenance Portlet, which is and always has been an Admin portlet, is accessible to anyone with that portlet and not just to CMS Admins. Users that get site admin but not a system admin, should not have access to the System Maintenance → Tools portlet. This would share database username and password under Log Files and download DB Dump and other dotCMS Content under Tools.

| CVE-2023-3042 | In dotCMS, versions mentioned, a flaw in the NormalizationFilter does not strip double slashes (//) from URLs, potentially enabling bypasses for XSS and access controls. An example affected URL is https://demo.dotcms.com//html/portlet/ext/files/edit_text_inc.jsp , which should return a 404 response but didn't. The oversight in the default invalid URL character list can be viewed at the provided GitHub link https://github.com/dotCMS/core/blob/master/dotCMS/src/main/java/com/dotcms/filters/Nor | [email protected] | 5.3 | 0.36% | 2023-10-17 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2022-37034 | In dotCMS 5.x-22.06, it is possible to call the TempResource multiple times, each time requesting the dotCMS server to download a large file. If done repeatedly, this will result in Tomcat request-thread exhaustion and ultimately a denial of any other requests. | [email protected] | 5.3 | 0.88% | 2023-02-01 | 2025-03-27 |
| CVE-2022-45783 | An issue was discovered in dotCMS core 4.x through 22.10.2. An authenticated directory traversal vulnerability in the dotCMS API can lead to Remote Code Execution. | [email protected] | 6.5 | 8.47% | 2023-02-01 | 2025-03-27 |
| CVE-2022-45782 | An issue was discovered in dotCMS core 5.3.8.5 through 5.3.8.15 and 21.03 through 22.10.1. A cryptographically insecure random generation algorithm for password-reset token generation leads to account takeover. | [email protected] | 8.8 | 0.64% | 2023-02-01 | 2025-03-27 |
| CVE-2022-37033 | In dotCMS 5.x-22.06, TempFileAPI allows a user to create a temporary file based on a passed in URL, while attempting to block any SSRF access to local IP addresses or private subnets. In resolving this URL, the TempFileAPI follows any 302 redirects that the remote URL returns. Because there is no re-validation of the redirect URL, the TempFileAPI can be used to return data from those local/private hosts that should not be accessible remotely. | [email protected] | 6.5 | 0.84% | 2023-02-01 | 2025-03-27 |
| CVE-2022-35740 | dotCMS before 22.06 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access control and obtain sensitive information by using a semicolon in a URL to introduce a matrix parameter. (This is also fixed in 5.3.8.12, 21.06.9, and 22.03.2 for LTS users.) Some Java application frameworks, including those used by Spring or Tomcat, allow the use of matrix parameters: these are URI parameters separated by semicolons. Through precise semicolon placement in a URI, it is possible to exploit this feature to avoid | [email protected] | 6.1 | 1.21% | 2022-11-10 | 2025-05-01 |
| CVE-2022-37431 | A Reflected Cross-site scripting (XSS) issue was discovered in dotCMS Core through 22.06. This occurs in the admin portal when the configuration has XSS_PROTECTION_ENABLED=false. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because the current product behavior, in effect, has XSS_PROTECTION_ENABLED=true in all configurations | [email protected] | 6.1 | 0.55% | 2022-08-05 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2022-26352 KEV | An issue was discovered in the ContentResource API in dotCMS 3.0 through 22.02. Attackers can craft a multipart form request to post a file whose filename is not initially sanitized. This allows directory traversal, in which the file is saved outside of the intended storage location. If anonymous content creation is enabled, this allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload an executable file, such as a .jsp file, that can lead to remote code execution. | [email protected] | 9.8 | 91.50% | 2022-07-17 | 2025-11-03 |

| CVE-2021-35358 | A stored cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in dotAdmin/#/c/c_Images of dotCMS 21.05.1 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload entered into the 'Title' and 'Filename' parameters. | [email protected] | 4.8 | 0.50% | 2021-07-09 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2020-17542 | Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in dotCMS v5.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting a malicious payload into the "Task Detail" comment window of the "/dotAdmin/#/c/workflow" component. | [email protected] | 5.4 | 0.84% | 2021-04-23 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2020-27848 | dotCMS before 20.10.1 allows SQL injection, as demonstrated by the /api/v1/containers orderby parameter. The PaginatorOrdered classes that are used to paginate results of a REST endpoints do not sanitize the orderBy parameter and in some cases it is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. A user must be an authenticated manager in the dotCMS system to exploit this vulnerability. | [email protected] | 8.8 | 1.22% | 2020-12-30 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2020-35274 | DotCMS Add Template with admin panel 20.11 is affected by cross-site Scripting (XSS) to gain remote privileges.
