CVE-2024-32640: MasaCMS SQL Injection vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 63/100)

A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 78.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.5% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

MASA CMS is an Enterprise Content Management platform based on open source technology. Versions prior to 7.4.5, 7.3.12, and 7.2.7 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the `processAsyncObject` method that can result in remote code execution. Versions 7.4.5, 7.3.12, and 7.2.7 contain a fix for the issue.
