Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2022-26352 lets attackers place files outside the intended upload directory in dotCMS. In risky configurations, especially anonymous content creation, an unauthenticated attacker could upload executable server-side content and gain remote code execution. CISA lists this CVE as known exploited, so internet-facing dotCMS should be treated as urgent. Highest exposure is public dotCMS 3.0 through 22.02, especially where anonymous content creation or unauthenticated upload paths are enabled. Internal-only deployments still need review because compromise can affect content integrity and server availability. Treat as emergency remediation for any internet-facing dotCMS. The combination of critical CVSS, unauthenticated RCE conditions, and CISA KEV listing makes delay hard to justify. Prioritize inventory, exposure reduction, vendor remediation, and compromise checks. Mitigation focus: Identify and prioritize all dotCMS 3.0 through 22.02 instances.; Check dotCMS vendor guidance for the fixed release or supported remediation.; Disable anonymous content creation where it is not explicitly required..
