Summary

Winter CMS is a content management system built on the Laravel PHP framework. From 1.1.0 until 1.2.14, Backend\Widgets\Lists::evalImageTypeValue() interpolates the result of ImageResizer::filterGetUrl() into a single-quoted image source attribute without escaping it. In a third-party plugin that renders an attacker-influenced value through an image list column, an unsupported image value is returned verbatim, can break out of the attribute, and can inject event handlers that execute when a backend user views the list. Winter core ships no image list column, so a default installation is unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.14.

Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-125341 (Winter CMS: Stored XSS through Backend List widget image columns), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-125341 (entry last updated 2026-11-10):
Affected:
- wintercms winter: from 1.1.0, fixed in 1.2.14
- Packagist package winter/wn-backend-module: from 1.1.0, fixed in 1.2.14
Fixed versions: 1.2.14.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-125341 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-125341 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Packages (Packagist): find every lockfile in each project and run check_stack from the cve.now MCP server on each one. Compare the resolved versions, not the ranges a manifest declares, with the affected versions above. Include transitive dependencies.
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/wintercms/winter/security/advisories/GHSA-7mpf-4465-7fc2
- https://github.com/wintercms/winter/commit/0941c9816181095fe35d58e78e6d0c4a49238967
- https://github.com/wintercms/winter/releases/tag/v1.2.14
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
