Description
CamaleonCMS contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated low-privileged users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser by injecting unsanitized HTML payloads into the post title parameter during draft creation. Attackers can submit a malicious HTML payload as a draft title through the drafts creation endpoint, which is persisted to the database without escaping and later rendered as raw HTML in the admin drafts listing, enabling administrator session compromise, cookie theft, and forged authenticated requests.

AI Analysis

Impact

CamaleonCMS has a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that lets an authenticated low‑privileged user insert unfiltered HTML into a post title field when creating a draft. The payload is saved in the database and later rendered as raw HTML in the administrator drafts list, allowing attacker‑controlled JavaScript to run in the admin browser. This can be used to steal administrator session cookies, hijack the session, and perform actions as the admin without further authentication.

Affected Systems

The affected product is CamaleonCMS developed by owen2345. No specific version range is listed in the data, so all installations of the CMS may be vulnerable until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.2 the vulnerability is critical. The EPSS score is not available and the issue is not in the CISA KEV catalog, but the impact level is high. Attackers must be authenticated with low privileges, which is a relatively low barrier in many sites that provide user accounts. Once a malicious draft title is created, any administrator who views the drafts list will execute the code, potentially compromising the entire CMS instance.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the vendor site or repository for an official patch that sanitizes draft titles before storage; apply the patch as soon as it becomes available.
  • If no patch is available, block or rate‑limit the draft creation endpoint to prevent abuse by low‑privileged accounts until the bug is fixed.
  • Apply input validation on the server side to escape or strip potentially dangerous HTML from the draft title field, and consider configuring a Content Security Policy to reduce the impact of any injected scripts.
