Authenticated code execution via column-name cache write
Published Jul 13, 2026 · Updated Jul 13, 2026
Code injection in DedeCMS 5.7.118 search.php allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP through a crafted column name. The Column Management search handler writes the supplied column name into a PHP cache file without neutralizing code syntax, and the generated file is web-accessible. Administrative privileges are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied code in the web server context and can alter site data or interrupt service.
