AI Analysis

Impact

A stored SQL injection flaw exists in the cms_content tag of ChestnutCMS version 1.5.10. Manipulating the content parameter through the admin backend allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into the query that executes when the template is rendered. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure, modification, or deletion of data within the CMS database, as the vulnerability stems from unvalidated input that is directly concatenated into SQL statements, reflecting CWE-94.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability impacts installations of ChestnutCMS version 1.5.10. Users who have permission to edit the cms_content tag in the admin area are the ones who can trigger the injection; other users without such rights are unaffected.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is < 1% and the issue is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, indicating that documented exploitation is scarce. Nevertheless, the flaw provides direct SQL injection capabilities, so the potential for database compromise remains high if an attacker gains admin access or if credentials are weak. The attack vector is inferred to require admin‑level access to the cms_content tag; disclosure or exploitation from external sources is unlikely without first compromising the backend.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the ChestnutCMS repository or vendor site for an official patch or upgrade that addresses the SQL injection issue.
  • Restrict access to the cms_content tag so that only trusted administrators can use it; consider disabling the feature entirely for low‑privilege accounts.
  • Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for any database interactions that involve the cms_content parameter to eliminate uncontrolled input concatenation.
