CVE-2025-58173
Description
FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator. In versions 1.23.0 through 1.27.0, using a path traversal inside the language user configuration parameter, it's possible to call install.php and perform various administrative actions as an unprivileged user. These actions include logging in as the admin, creating a new admin user, or set the database to an attacker-controlled MySQL server and abuse it to execute code in FreshRSS by setting malicious feed curl_params inside the feed table. Version 1.27.1 fixes the issue.
