Concrete CMS below version 9.4.8 is vulnerable to Stored XSS in Search Results via Page Names

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)

  • 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: 0.28% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Concrete CMS Concrete CMS 9.4.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Concrete CMS Concrete CMS 9.4.8 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In Concrete CMS below version 9.4.8, A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the search block where page names and content are rendered without proper HTML encoding in search results. This allows authenticated, rogue administrators to inject malicious JavaScript through page names that executes when users search for and view those pages in search results. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 4.8 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.
