Description
The front-end interface /cms/category/list of MCMS <=6.2.0 is vulnerable to SQL injection. The size parameter is directly concatenated into the LIMIT clause of SQL through FreeMarker ${size} without being parameterized and bound. The built-in SqlInjectionUtil employs regular expression blacklist filtering, yet keywords like CREATE/TABLE/SET/PREPARE/EXECUTE are not included in the list, allowing for bypassing. Attackers can execute stacked SQL statements without logging in.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MCMS front‑end interface at /cms/category/list is vulnerable to SQL injection in versions 6.2.0 and earlier. The size query parameter is directly concatenated into the SQL LIMIT clause using FreeMarker ${size} without parameterization or binding. The built‑in SqlInjectionUtil filters input with a regular‑expression blacklist that omits critical keywords such as CREATE, TABLE, SET, PREPARE, EXECUTE, allowing an attacker to bypass the filter and inject arbitrary SQL statements.

Affected Systems

Any deployment of MCMS up to version 6.2.0 is affected. The product is listed only as MCMS, with no vendor or product name provided in the CNA data. Exposing the /cms/category/list endpoint to the internet or internal users makes the system vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw is exploited via unauthenticated HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint. An attacker can execute stacked SQL statements, potentially compromising data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The EPSS score is < 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the lack of authentication and ability to run arbitrary SQL suggest a high exploitation risk for exposed installations. The CVSS base score is 9.8, indicating critical severity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MCMS to a patched release or applied vendor‑supplied fix that parameterizes the size input
  • Restrict access to the /cms/category/list endpoint to authenticated users or block the endpoint from external networks using firewall rules
  • Validate or sanitize the size parameter on the server side, ensuring it is a numeric value and preventing execution of multiple statements within the LIMIT clause
