Description
GetSimple CMS is a content management system. All versions of GetSimple CMS do not implement CSRF protection on the administrative file upload endpoint. As a result, an attacker can craft a malicious web page that silently triggers a file upload request from an authenticated victim’s browser. The request is accepted without requiring a CSRF token or origin validation. This allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files to the application without the victim’s knowledge or consent. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the victim must be authenticated to GetSimple CMS (e.g., admin user), and visit an attacker-controlled webpage. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.

Impact

GetSimple CMS lacks CSRF protection on the administrative file upload endpoint, enabling an attacker to silently trigger a file upload from an authenticated user's browser via a crafted malicious webpage. When an authenticated administrator loads an attacker‑controlled page, the browser submits a file upload request that the CMS accepts without requiring a CSRF token or origin check. The upload accepts any file type, so an attacker could place executable scripts or other malicious payloads on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution or other severe consequences if the uploaded file is served or executed by the CMS. The vulnerability stems from a lack of anti‑CSRF controls and insufficient file‑type validation, classified as CWE‑352 and CWE‑434.

Affected Systems

All versions of the GetSimpleCMS‑CE Community Edition are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity, and the extremely low EPSS score (<1%) suggests that exploitation is unlikely to be widespread at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that the victim is logged in as an administrator and visits a page controlled by an attacker; the attack path is purely CSRF‑based and does not involve any authentication or additional preconditions beyond an active session.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the GetSimple CMS website or GitHub releases for an official patch or update addressing the CSRF vulnerability in the file upload endpoint.
  • If a patch is unavailable, temporarily disable the file upload functionality for administrators or remove the upload capability entirely until a fix is released.
  • Implement server‑side file‑type validation and origin checks for uploads, such as allowing only specific MIME types and rejecting files with executable extensions, to reduce the risk of arbitrary file upload.
