CVE-2024-12789Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via crafted tag parameter

Published Dec 19, 2024 · Updated Dec 20, 2024

Code injection in PbootCMS 3.2.0 through 3.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via a crafted tag parameter. The CNA identifies apps/home/controller/IndexController.php and the tag argument but does not disclose the function or unsafe operation that turns the input into executable code. Low-privileged access is required; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code in the web application's PHP context.
