Sitecore Experience Platform gained three newly disclosed vulnerabilities, including HTML cache poisoning, insecure deserialization RCE, and an ItemService API information disclosure issue that can lead to remote code execution and non-authorized access to information. The flaws were assigned CVE-2025-53693, CVE-2025-53691, and CVE-2025-53694. Sitecore had already released patches in June and July 2025, but researchers said the issues can be chained on a fully-patched instance.

Sitecore Experience Platform vulnerabilities expose cache poisoning, RCE, and information disclosure
Initial DisclosurewatchTowr Labs disclosed three new Sitecore Experience Platform vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-53693, CVE-2025-53691, and CVE-2025-53694, covering HTML cache poisoning through unsafe reflections, remote code execution through insecure deserialization, and information disclosure in the ItemService API that can expose cache keys. The researchers said the issues can be chained on a fully-patched Sitecore Experience Platform instance to enumerate cache keys, poison HTML cache entries, and reach code execution.
