AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the editpage.php module of Pluck CMS versions prior to 4.7.21dev. The flaw resides in the sanitizePageContent function, which fails to neutralize injected script content. An attacker who can inject malicious payloads into page content can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the CMS, allowing unauthorized control and privilege escalation.

Affected Systems

All installations of Pluck CMS older than version 4.7.21dev are affected. No official vendor/product list is available, but the vulnerability exists in the editpage.php page and the sanitizePageContent function across those releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.7, indicating moderate risk. EPSS data is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit this flaw remotely by posting malicious content through the web interface; no special credentials are required beyond access to the page editor. Exploitation would result in privileged code execution within the CMS.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Pluck CMS to version 4.7.21dev or later to apply the vendor‑issued fix for the sanitizePageContent vulnerability.
  • Verify that editpage.php is only accessible to authenticated users with appropriate authority before allowing page editing.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, remove or restrict access to editpage.php and disable the page editing feature for unauthenticated or untrusted users.
