CVE-2025-2749Kentico Xperience — staging upload escapes into code execution

Kentico Xperience through 13.0.178 lets an account with staging sync rights upload files to paths of its own choosing, including places where the server will execute them — turning a content sync feature into remote code execution.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the Kentico hotfix for your 13.x build now; then check for staging accounts nobody created and for scripts sitting under the web root.
