CVE-2025-12613: Arbitrary Argument Injection in cloudinary
Versions of the package cloudinary before 2.7.0 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection due to improper parsing of parameter values containing an ampersand. An attacker can inject additional, unintended parameters. This could lead to a variety of malicious outcomes, such as bypassing security checks, altering data, or manipulating the application's behavior. **Note:** Following our established security policy, we attempted to contact the maintainer regarding this vulnerability, but haven't received a response.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-12613 affects cloudinary versions prior to 2.7.0 and involves arbitrary argument injection caused by improper parsing of parameter values that include an ampersand character. This flaw enables attackers to inject extra parameters that were not intended by the application, which could result in various malicious outcomes such as bypassing security controls or modifying application logic. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8. No patch or official remediation has been confirmed, and the maintainer has not responded to security inquiries.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary parameters into cloudinary requests, potentially bypassing security checks, altering data, or manipulating the application's behavior. This could compromise the integrity and security of applications using affected versions of cloudinary.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the maintainer has not responded and no patch links are available, users should monitor official sources for updates and consider mitigating exposure by validating and sanitizing input parameters where possible.
