Impact
A flaw is present in the Search function of CicadasCMS that is processed in AbstractCacheManager.java, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts by manipulating the argument 's'. This results in a cross‑site scripting vulnerability that can be exploited remotely via the web interface. The CVE notes that an exploit has been published and may be used. The weakness aligns with CWE‑79 and CWE‑94.
Affected Systems
All releases of the westboy CicadasCMS before the commit 2431154dac8d0735e04f1fd2a3c3556668fc8dab are affected. The product uses a rolling release model, so the exact version may vary, but any deployment that has not integrated the latest code changes is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 5.3. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploits have been released publicly, and the attack can be performed remotely through the web interface. The lack of a formal patch from the vendor means the risk remains until a new release that contains the fix is deployed.
