CVE-2026-8237· NVD / CVE Program· CNA ConcreteCMS

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR in the`/ccm/frontend/conversations/message_detail` endpoint

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 (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.74% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 53.8% 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.

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 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR. The `/ccm/frontend/conversations/message_detail` endpoint returns the full content of any conversation message. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate all conversation messages, including messages from restricted pages, member-only areas, and the moderation queue. File attachments with download URLs are also exposed. 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 Eldudareeno for reporting.
