Summary

CVE-2025-29306 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Foxcms Foxcms. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-29306 is a code injection vulnerability, tracked as CWE-94, affecting FoxCMS version 1.2.5. The flaw resides in the case display page of the index.html component and permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.

A remote attacker can exploit the issue over the network without authentication or user interaction, as reflected in the CVSS 9.8 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Successful exploitation grants full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability, enabling complete system compromise.

The single reference points to a public GitHub repository that documents the issue but contains no vendor advisory or patch information. The EPSS score has reached a current value of 0.8621 with a recorded peak of 0.8807, indicating sustained and elevated exploitation interest following disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
