DNN < 9.13.8 DotNetNuke.Core Server-Side Request Forgery (CVE-2025-32372)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 234499

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on the remote web server is affected by a server-side request forgery vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) running on the remote web server is prior to 9.13.8. It is, therefore, affected by a server-side request forgery vulnerability:

- DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. A bypass has been identified for the previously known vulnerability CVE-2017-0929, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary GET requests against target systems, including internal or adjacent networks. This vulnerability facilitates a semi-blind SSRF attack, allowing attackers to make the target server send requests to internal or external URLs without viewing the full responses. Potential impacts include internal network reconnaissance, bypassing firewalls. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.13.8. (CVE-2025-32372)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to DNN version 9.13.8 or later.
