CVE-2024-48655Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via widget script evaluation

Published Oct 25, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2024

Code injection in Total.js CMS 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary server-side JavaScript through a crafted widget. The widget compiler in definitions/func.js passes the user-controlled meta.total script body to the Function constructor without restricting access to Node.js process APIs. Exploitation requires a logged-in user who can create widgets; the upstream repository labels the report invalid without further explanation.
