Synopsis

An application running on the remote web server is affected by a multiple vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) running on the remote web server is prior to 9.13.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. Prior to version 9.13.9, a malicious SuperUser (Host) could craft a request to use an external url for a site export to then be imported. Version 9.13.9 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-48376)

 - DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. Prior to version 9.13.9, a specially crafted URL may be constructed which can inject an XSS payload that is triggered by using some module actions. Version 9.13.9 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-48377)

 - DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. Prior to version 9.13.9, uploaded SVG files could contain scripts and if rendered inline those scripts could run allowing XSS attacks. Version 9.13.9 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-48378)

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 9.13.9 or later.
