AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is located in the /e/member/mspace/index.php file of EmpireSoft EmpireCMS. An attacker can manipulate the spacename argument to cause client‑side script injection that is executed in the browser of any user who views the affected page. The flaw allows arbitrary JavaScript execution via a crafted URL, enabling remote exploitation without authentication.

Affected Systems

EmpireSoft EmpireCMS versions up to and including 8.0 are affected. The flaw exists in an unknown function of the index.php file located in the /e/member/mspace/ directory. Any installation of these versions that accepts user‑controlled spacename inputs is vulnerable until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate impact, and the lack of an EPSS score means no trend data is available. Because the vulnerability can be exploited remotely and public exploits have already been released, the risk remains non‑negligible. The vulnerability is not catalogued in CISA KEV, but the public release of an exploit suggests adversaries could target affected systems.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade EmpireCMS to a patched release newer than 8.0 or the vendor’s latest version.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, sanitize and validate the spacename input to ensure no script tags or JavaScript can be injected.
  • Deploy a web application firewall rule set that blocks XSS payloads and enforces content‑security‑policy headers to mitigate the risk.
