Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)
- 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: 1.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 75.6% 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.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Concrete CMS 9 (9.0.0 through 9.5.2) does not perform an authorization check on the user selector autocomplete endpoint (/ccm/system/user/autocomplete), which backs the "Preview as User" panel and other user-selector components. The endpoint validates only a CSRF-style access token that is bound to the selector's display options rather than to the caller's identity or permissions, and that token is issued to anonymous visitors because the selector renders without an authorization check. Because an empty query resolves to a match-all filter, an unauthenticated attacker can submit an empty search and paginate the results to enumerate every backend account, disclosing the internal user ID, username, and email address of all administrative users, including the super-administrator (user ID 1). No password hashes or session material are disclosed The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 8.7 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.
