CVE-2023-44846Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via admin notification handler

Published Oct 10, 2023 · Updated Sep 19, 2024

Code injection in SeaCMS 12.8 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through the admin_notify.php component. Public disclosures name admin_notify.php but do not identify the input, function, or unsafe operation that converts data into executable code. A valid low-privilege account is required; successful exploitation grants code execution with the web application's privileges.
