Last updated: 08 Mar 2025, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with kentico. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. 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 kentico CVEs: 18
Earliest CVE date: 21 Oct 2015, 15:59 UTC
Latest CVE date: 18 Jul 2022, 17:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2022-32387
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: 5.35
Max CVSS: 9.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 1
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 4 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 9 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 4 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 1 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for kentico, sorted by severity first and recency.
In Kentico before 13.0.66, attackers can achieve Denial of Service via a crafted request to the GetResource handler.
Kentico CMS before 13.0.66 has an Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability. It allows an attacker with user management rights (default is Administrator) to export the user options of any user, even ones with higher privileges (like Global Administrators) than the current user. The exported XML contains every option of the exported user (even the hashed password).
Kentico Xperience 13.0.44 allows XSS via an XML document to the Media Libraries subsystem.
The Blog module in Kentico CMS 5.5 R2 build 5.5.3996 allows SQL injection via the tagname parameter.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Kentico before 12.0.75.
Kentico before 12.0.50 allows file uploads in which the Content-Type header is inconsistent with the file extension, leading to XSS.
Kentico 11 through 12 lets attackers upload and explore files without authentication via the cmsmodules/medialibrary/formcontrols/liveselectors/insertimageormedia/tabs_media.aspx URI. NOTE: The vendor disputes the report because the researcher did not configure the media library permissions correctly. The vendor states that by default all users can read/modify/upload files, and it’s up to the administrator to decide who should have access to the media library and set the permissions accordingly. See the vendor documentation in the references for more information
Kentico CMS before 11.0.45 allows unrestricted upload of a file with a dangerous type.
An issue was discovered in Kentico 12.0.x before 12.0.15, 11.0.x before 11.0.48, 10.0.x before 10.0.52, and 9.x versions. Due to a failure to validate security headers, it was possible for a specially crafted request to the staging service to bypass the initial authentication and proceed to deserialize user-controlled .NET object input. This deserialization then led to unauthenticated remote code execution on the server where the Kentico instance was hosted.
Kentico v10.0.42 allows Global Administrators to read the cleartext SMTP Password by navigating to the SMTP configuration page. NOTE: the vendor considers this a best-practice violation but not a vulnerability. The vendor plans to fix it at a future time
Kentico 9.0 before 9.0.51 and 10.0 before 10.0.48 allows remote attackers to obtain Global Administrator access by visiting CMSInstall/install.aspx and then navigating to the CMS Administration Dashboard.
Kentico 10 before 10.0.50 and 11 before 11.0.3 has SQL injection in the administration interface.
Kentico 10 before 10.0.50 and 11 before 11.0.3 has XSS in which a crafted URL results in improper construction of a system page.
Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in "Design" on "Edit device layout" in Kentico 9 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute malicious JavaScript via a malicious devicename parameter in a link that is entered via the "Pages -> Edit template properties -> Device Layouts -> Create device layout (and edit created device layout) -> Design" screens. NOTE: the vendor has responded that there is intended functionality for authorized users to edit and update ascx code layout
Arbitrary code execution vulnerability in Kentico 9 through 11 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary operating system commands in a dynamic .NET code evaluation context via C# code in a "Pages -> Edit -> Template -> Edit template properties -> Layout" box. NOTE: the vendor has responded that there is intended functionality for authorized users to edit and update ascx code layout
Kentico 9.0 through 11.0 has a stack-based buffer overflow via the SqlName, SqlPswd, Database, UserName, or Password field in a SilentInstall XML document. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue because neither a buffer overflow nor a crash can be reproduced; also, reading XML documents is implemented exclusively with managed code within the Microsoft .NET Framework
Open redirect vulnerability in CMSPages/GetDocLink.ashx in Kentico CMS 8.2 through 8.2.41 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the link parameter.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Kentico CMS 8.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) parameter name to CMSModules/AdminControls/Pages/UIPage.aspx or the (2) CMSBodyClass cookie variable to the default URI.
