SCA: security update for Umbraco.Forms (GHSA-hm5p-82g6-m3xh)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437398

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Umbraco Forms is a form builder that integrates with the Umbraco content management system. It's possible
for an authenticated backoffice-user to enumerate and traverse paths/files on the systems filesystem and
read their contents, on Mac/Linux Umbraco installations using Forms. As Umbraco Cloud runs in a Windows
environment, Cloud users aren't affected. This issue affects versions 16 and 17 of Umbraco Forms and is
patched in 16.4.1 and 17.1.1. If upgrading is not immediately possible, users can mitigate this
vulnerability by configuring a WAF or reverse proxy to block requests containing path traversal sequences
(`../`, `..\`) in the `fileName` parameter of the export endpoint, restricting network access to the
Umbraco backoffice to trusted IP ranges, and/or blocking the `/umbraco/forms/api/v1/export` endpoint
entirely if the export feature is not required. However, upgrading to the patched version is strongly
recommended. (CVE-2026-24687)
