• CVE-2025-54082: 0.94% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 60.99 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

A vulnerability was discovered in the marshmallow-packages/nova-tiptap Laravel Nova package that allows unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary files to any Laravel disk configured in the application. The vulnerability is due to: • Missing authentication middleware (Nova and Nova.Auth) on the /nova-tiptap/api/file upload endpoint • Lack of validation on uploaded files (no MIME/type or extension restrictions) • Ability for an attacker to choose the disk parameter dynamically This means an attacker can craft a custom form and send a POST request to /nova-tiptap/api/file, supplying a valid CSRF token, and upload executable or malicious files (e.g., .php, binaries) to public disks such as local, public, or s3. If a publicly accessible storage path is used (e.g. S3 with public access, or Laravel’s public disk), the attacker may gain the ability to execute or distribute arbitrary files — amounting to a potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) vector in some environments.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-54082

Advisory: nova-tiptap has Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2025-54082, GHSA-96c2-h667-9fxp
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-54082 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: marshmallow/nova-tiptap 5.7.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist marshmallow/nova-tiptap: affected < 5.7.0; fixed in 5.7.0
- Packagist manogi/nova-tiptap: affected <= 3.2.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist marshmallow/nova-tiptap: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Packagist manogi/nova-tiptap: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on marshmallow/nova-tiptap, manogi/nova-tiptap.
- 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
