Unauthenticated code execution via unsanitized API method
Published Jul 13, 2026 · Updated Jul 13, 2026
Code injection in Mura CMS before 10.0.712 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the default JSON API endpoint. The endpoint /index.cfm/_api/json/v1/default passes an unsanitized POST method parameter to the ColdFusion engine, enabling injected CFML expressions and malicious Java object instantiation. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation grants code execution in the CMS server context.
