CVE-2025-52136
Last modified
CVE-2025-52136 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3/10 on the CVSS scale. In EMQX before 5.8.6, administrators can install arbitrary novel plugins via the Dashboard web interface. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that this is the intended behavior; however, 5.8.6 adds a defense-in-depth feature in which a plugin's acceptability (for later Dashboard installation) is set by the "emqx ctl plugins allow" CLI command.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
