Description
GetSimple CMS is a content management system (CMS), and GetSimple CMS CE is the community edition of that CMS. In versions 3.3.22 and prior, GetSimpleCMS-CE is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the "Theme to Components" functionality (admin/components.php) via the title parameter. The stored title is rendered inside a double-quoted HTML attribute in the administrative interface through an output path that HTML-entity-decodes the value before printing it, without re-encoding for the attribute context. This allows persistent execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the admin panel. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw located in the Theme to Components feature of GetSimple CMS CE. A malicious title value is saved to the database and later rendered inside a double‑quoted HTML attribute without proper re‑encoding, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the administrative panel.

Affected Systems

GetSimple CMS Community Edition versions 3.3.22 and earlier are affected. The flaw resides in admin/components.php, where the title parameter of the Theme to Components functionality is vulnerable. Only installations running those legacy versions and that expose this feature are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity, but no EPSS information is available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be precisely quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector requires the attacker to submit a crafted title string through the Theme to Components form; the payload will then persist and execute whenever the administrative interface loads the stored value. Because the code runs in the admin context, any user who can view the admin panel will be affected.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Remove or disable the Theme to Components feature until a vendor patch is released.
  • Ensure that stored title values are properly HTML‑escaped before outputting them within attribute contexts.
  • Validate incoming title inputs to reject or escape characters that could form executable scripts.
  • Apply a strict Content Security Policy that blocks inline JavaScript in the admin interface.
