# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-27602

Advisory: Umbraco Allows a Restricted Editor User to Delete Media Item or Access Unauthorized Content
IDs: CVE-2025-27602, GHSA-wx5h-wqfq-v698
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-27602 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 17:03 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: umbraco.cms.web.backoffice 13.7.1, 10.8.9. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- NuGet umbraco.cms.web.backoffice: affected <= 10.8.8; >= 11.0.0-rc1, <= 13.7.0; fixed in 10.8.9, 13.7.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- NuGet umbraco.cms.web.backoffice: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on umbraco.cms.web.backoffice.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
