CVE-2025-15540 in Raytha
Summary
by MITRE • 03/16/2026
"Functions" module in Raytha CMS allows privileged users to write custom code to add functionality to application. Due to a lack of sandboxing or access restrictions, JavaScript code executed through Raytha’s “functions” feature can instantiate .NET components and perform arbitrary operations within the application’s hosting environment.
This issue was fixed in version 1.4.6.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-15540 resides within the Functions module of Raytha CMS, a content management system that enables users to extend application functionality through custom code execution. This particular flaw represents a critical security oversight that fundamentally undermines the application's security boundaries and trust model. The module's design permits privileged users to inject JavaScript code that can subsequently instantiate .NET components and execute arbitrary operations within the hosting environment, effectively bypassing the intended security controls that should separate user code execution from the underlying system resources.
The technical flaw stems from insufficient sandboxing mechanisms and access control restrictions within the Functions module implementation. When privileged users submit JavaScript code through this interface, the system fails to properly isolate the execution context from the host environment. This lack of proper isolation allows the injected JavaScript to leverage the .NET runtime capabilities available within the application hosting environment, enabling operations that should remain restricted to administrative or system-level access. The vulnerability essentially creates a path for privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution that extends beyond the intended scope of user-modifiable functionality.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe and multifaceted, as it provides attackers with the ability to perform actions that compromise the entire application infrastructure. An attacker with access to the Functions module could potentially execute malicious code that accesses sensitive data, modifies application configuration, performs unauthorized system operations, or even establishes persistence mechanisms within the hosting environment. This vulnerability directly enables several attack patterns documented in the ATT&CK framework under privilege escalation and execution techniques, specifically targeting the execution of arbitrary code in legitimate application processes. The ability to instantiate .NET components from JavaScript code represents a significant bypass of traditional security boundaries that typically separate different execution contexts.
Security professionals should consider this vulnerability in the context of CWE-749, which addresses the exposure of a direct object reference to an unauthorized actor, and CWE-94, which covers the execution of arbitrary code. The flaw aligns with these classifications as it allows unauthorized code execution through a legitimate application interface and represents a failure to properly validate and sanitize user-provided code. Organizations using Raytha CMS should immediately implement mitigations including restricting access to the Functions module to only essential administrative users, implementing comprehensive code review processes for all custom functions, and ensuring that the application is updated to version 1.4.6 or later where the vulnerability has been addressed. Additionally, network segmentation and monitoring should be implemented to detect any suspicious code execution patterns that might indicate exploitation attempts.
