CVE-2026-8236: Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR combined with a missing authentication gate for endpoint /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/{fID}
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB / GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.67% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 51.9% 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.
- Fixed version: concrete5/concrete5 (Packagist) 9.5.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to concrete5/concrete5 (Packagist) 9.5.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR combined with a missing authentication gate. The endpoint /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/{fID} accepts an integer file ID in the URL and returns internal site structure data (page IDs, versions, URL paths) to anyone who sends a GET request. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 6.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Winston Crooker for reporting.
