Description
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input when adding Pages to navigation menus through the Menu Management functionality. Page-related data selected via the Pages section is stored server-side and rendered without proper output encoding. This stored payload is later rendered unsafely within administrative interfaces and public-facing navigation menus, leading to stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS). This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

CI4MS is a CodeIgniter‑based CMS skeleton. Versions prior to 0.31.0.0 fail to sanitize user input when adding Pages to navigation menus. The stored page data is later rendered without proper output encoding, resulting in stored DOM‑based cross‑site scripting. This weakness can allow an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript that is executed when the menu is displayed.

Affected Systems

All releases of ci4‑ms before 0.31.0.0 are affected. The issue can surface in both administrative interfaces and public‑facing navigation menus for any user who has access to the CMS.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 9.1 and the EPSS score is less than 1%. The vulnerability is not listed in the KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is the web application, where an attacker with access to the Menu Management feature can insert malicious content. Based on the description, it is inferred that the injected code could execute in the context of any user who subsequently views the vulnerable menu, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or credential theft.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to CI4MS version 0.31.0.0 or later to deploy the official patch that sanitizes menu input and output.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict access to the Menu Management feature to trusted administrators and remove or review any pages that contain unexpected or suspicious content.
  • Ensure that any future user‑controlled input destined for navigation menus undergoes proper validation and output encoding following safe‑output guidelines for web applications.
