Peertube: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition
CVE-2025-32947 is a high-severity loop with unreachable exit condition vulnerability in Peertube from Framasoft, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 7.1.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating Peertube to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.78% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 56% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
