Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total alfresco CVEs: 15
Earliest CVE date: 02 Jun 2014, 19:55 UTC

Latest CVE reference: CVE-2020-18327
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 0
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 5.72
Max CVSS: 10.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 2

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for alfresco, sorted by severity first and recency.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Alfresco Alfresco Community Edition v5.2.0 via the action parameter in the alfresco/s/admin/admin-nodebrowser API. Fixed in v6.2
An issue was discovered in Hyland org.alfresco:alfresco-content-services through 6.2.2.18 and org.alfresco:alfresco-transform-services through 1.3. A crafted HTML file, once uploaded, could trigger an unexpected request by the transformation engine. The response to the request is not available to the attacker, i.e., this is blind SSRF.
An issue was discovered in Hyland org.alfresco:share through 7.0.0.2 and org.alfresco:community-share through 7.0. An evasion of the XSS filter for HTML input validation in the Alfresco Share User Interface leads to stored XSS that could be exploited by an attacker (given that he has privileges on the content collaboration features).
An issue was discovered in Hyland org.alfresco:alfresco-content-services through 7.0.1.2. Script Action execution allows executing scripts uploaded outside of the Data Dictionary. This could allow a logged-in attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandboxed environment.
The Alfresco Reset Password add-on before version 1.2.0 relies on untrusted inputs in a security decision. Intruders can get admin's access to the system using the vulnerability in the project. Impacts all servers where this add-on is installed. The problem is fixed in version 1.2.0
The Reset Password add-on before 1.2.0 for Alfresco has a broken algorithm (involving an increment) that allows a malicious user to change any user's account password include the admin account.
Alfresco Enterprise before 5.2.7 and Alfresco Community before 6.2.0 (rb65251d6-b368) has XSS via an uploaded document, when the attacker has write access to a project.
Alfresco Enterprise before 5.2.7 and Alfresco Community before 6.2.0 (rb65251d6-b368) has XSS via a user profile photo, as demonstrated by a SCRIPT element in an SVG document.
Alfresco Enterprise before 5.2.7 and Alfresco Community before 6.2.0 (rb65251d6-b368) has XSS via the URL property of a file.
Alfresco Enterprise before 5.2.5 allows stored XSS via an uploaded HTML document.
An issue was discovered in Alfresco Community Edition versions below 5.2.6, 6.0.N and 6.1.N. The Alfresco Share application is vulnerable to an Open Redirect attack via a crafted POST request. By manipulating the POST parameters, an attacker can redirect a victim to a malicious website over any protocol the attacker desires (e.g.,http, https, ftp, smb, etc.).
An issue was discovered in Alfresco Community Edition 5.2 201707. By leveraging multiple components in the Alfresco Software applications, an exploit chain was observed that allows an attacker to achieve remote code execution on the victim machine. The attacker must upload malicious Solr configuration files and then receive a JMX connection from the victim, and serve a Java object that results in deserialization and code execution.
An issue was discovered in Alfresco Community Edition versions 6.0 and lower. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could authenticate to Alfresco's Solr Web Admin Interface. The vulnerability is due to the presence of a default private key that is present in all default installations. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the extracted private key and bundling it into a PKCS12. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain information about the target system (e.g., OS type, system file locations, Java version, Solr version, etc.) as well as the ability to launch further attacks by leveraging the access to Alfresco's Solr Web Admin Interface.
The Alfresco application before 1.8.7 for Android allows SQL injection in HistorySearchProvider.java.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Alfresco module before 6.x-1.3 for Drupal allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that delete an alfresco node via unspecified vectors.
Server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the proxy servlet in Alfresco Community Edition before 5.0.a allows remote attackers to trigger outbound requests to intranet servers, conduct port scans, and read arbitrary files via a crafted URI in the endpoint parameter.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the cmisbrowser servlet in Content Management Interoperability Service (CMIS) in Alfresco Community Edition before 5.0.a allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that access unauthorized URLs and obtain user credentials via a URL in the url parameter.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Alfresco Enterprise before 4.1.6.13 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) an XHTML document, (2) a <% tag, or (3) the taskId parameter to share/page/task-edit.
