Impact
This vulnerability arises from improper handling of the "aid" argument in the Advertisement Rendering component of DedeCMS. The common.inc.php::_RunMagicQuotes function fails to sanitize the input before it is used to evaluate PHP code in ad_js.php, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary code. If exploited, an attacker can execute PHP on the server, leading to full compromise of the web application and potentially the underlying operating system.
Affected Systems
The affected vendor is DedeCMS, specifically version 5.7.118. The flaw resides in the plus/ad_js.php file and the common.inc.php::_RunMagicQuotes function. Systems running this exact version are potentially vulnerable; other versions are not reported to contain this issue.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.9, indicating moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack can be performed remotely without authentication by sending a crafted HTTP request that manipulates the aid parameter. Because it enables arbitrary PHP code execution, the risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability is significant and warrants immediate attention.
