CVE-2025-68109

ChurchCRM vulnerable to RCE with database restore functionality

Published Dec 17, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 9.1 Critical EPSS 1.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 6.5.3, the Database Restore functionality does not validate the content or file extension of uploaded files. As a result, an attacker can upload a web shell file and subsequently upload a .htaccess file to enable direct access to it. Once accessed, the uploaded web shell allows remote code execution (RCE) on the server. Version 6.5.3 fixes the issue.
