CVE-2026-25525
CWE-22Published: April 20, 2026· Updated: Apr 23, 2026
Official Description
Magento Long Term Support (LTS) is an unofficial, community-driven project provides an alternative to the Magento Community Edition e-commerce platform with a high level of backward compatibility. Prior to version 20.17.0, the Dataflow module in OpenMage LTS uses a weak blacklist filter (`str_replace('../', '', $input)`) to prevent path traversal attacks. This filter can be bypassed using patterns like `..././` or `....//`, which after the replacement still result in `../`. An authenticated administrator can exploit this to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. Version 20.17.0 patches the issue.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-25525 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high 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), with a CVSS base score of 4.9.
