Operationally, ranked in the top 11.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
SuiteCRM, an open-source customer relationship management application, contains a flaw in its uploaded file verification logic that permits remote code execution. The issue affects all versions prior to 7.14.4 and 8.6.1 and is tracked under CWE-98 and CWE-434, reflecting improper control of filenames for include/require operations combined with unrestricted upload of dangerous file types.
An attacker with high privileges can exploit the vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to upload a malicious file that bypasses verification checks, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server with impacts to confidentiality, integrity Availability, and scope change.
The official GitHub Security Advisories for GHSA-c82f-58jv-jfrh state that the issue is resolved in SuiteCRM 7.14.4 and 8.6.1; administrators are advised to upgrade to these patched releases.
EPSS scores for the CVE rose from lower values to a peak of 0.0584 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current 0.0400, indicating modest but detectable post-disclosure interest in exploitation.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requiring identifiable owners for portable devices reduces the attack surface for unrestricted uploads of dangerous file types via anonymous media.
Dangerous file uploads can be detonated in the chamber to determine malice before any production write or execution occurs.
Prevents unrestricted writing of arbitrary or malicious firmware by keeping hardware write-protect enabled except under tightly controlled manual procedures.
Scans files from external sources on download/open/execute, blocking unrestricted uploads of dangerous file types.
