Impact
The vulnerability occurs in the Lagom WHMCS Template datatables component for versions up to 2.4.2. An attacker can manipulate an unknown datatables function to cause excessive resource consumption, which the vendor reports as remote exploitation possible. The impact is a denial of service caused by elevated CPU or memory usage, mapped to CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) and CWE-404 (Missing Resource Management).
Affected Systems
Any installation of Lagom WHMCS Template that is version 2.4.2 or older is affected. The vulnerability is tied to an unspecified datatables function; therefore all users who have not upgraded beyond 2.4.2 are at risk.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though the exploit has been publicly disclosed. The attack vector is likely remote, whereby a crafted web request triggers the datatables component to consume excessive resources, leading to service degradation. Without an official patch or response from the vendor, the risk remains until a fix is applied or mitigated.
