CVE-2024-4350· NVD / CVE Program· CNA ConcreteCMS

Concrete CMS version 9 below 9.3.3 and below 8.5.18 are vulnerable to Stored XSS in RSS Displayer

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.49% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Concrete CMS Concrete CMS 8.5.18, 9.3.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Concrete CMS Concrete CMS 8.5.18, 9.3.3 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0 to 9.3.2 and below 8.5.18 are vulnerable to Stored XSS in RSS Displayer when user input is stored and later embedded into responses. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code into fields due to insufficient input validation. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4 score of 5.1 with vector https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0#CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N Thanks, m3dium for reporting. (CNA updated this risk rank on 17 Jan 2025 by lowering the AC based on CVSS 4.0 documentation that access privileges should not be considered for AC)
