CVE-2025-64325
CWE-79Published: November 18, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
Emby Server is a personal media server. Prior to version 4.8.1.0 and prior to Beta version 4.9.0.0-beta, a malicious user can send an authentication request with a manipulated X-Emby-Client value, which gets added to the devices section of the admin dashboard without sanitization. This issue has been patched in version 4.8.1.0 and Beta version 4.9.0.0-beta.
Risk Analysis
This critical vulnerability in Emby Server allows a malicious user to inject unsanitized data into the admin dashboard via a manipulated authentication request. With a CVSS score of 9.0, this flaw could lead to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The lack of an EPSS score means its exploitation likelihood is unknown, but the high CVSS score indicates urgency.
No public exploit is currently known for this vulnerability. Exploitation requires user interaction and low privileges.
Upgrade Emby Server to version 4.8.1.0 or Beta version 4.9.0.0-beta or later to address this vulnerability. Ensure all user input is properly sanitized before being displayed or stored.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-64325 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.0.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
