DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in ZZCMS 2025. Affected by this issue is the function stripfxg of the file /admin/siteconfig.php of the component Backend Website Settings Module. Such manipulation of the argument icp leads to code injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Code injection in ZZCMS 2025 Backend Website Settings Module allows authenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary code via the icp parameter in the stripfxg function (/admin/siteconfig.php), with limited confidentiality impact. Public exploit code is available, but exploitation requires high-privilege administrative access, significantly limiting practical attack surface despite network-accessible vector.

Technical ContextAI

ZZCMS is a PHP-based content management system. The vulnerability exists in the stripfxg function within the Backend Website Settings Module, specifically in /admin/siteconfig.php. The root cause is classified as CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component, also known as 'Injection'), indicating insufficient input validation or sanitization of the icp parameter before it is processed. The parameter is passed to a backend function without proper escaping or type-checking, allowing an attacker with administrative credentials to inject malicious PHP or other code that gets executed server-side.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is confirmed at time of analysis. Immediate remediation requires restricting administrative access to /admin/siteconfig.php to trusted IP ranges or requiring additional authentication factors (e.g., IP whitelisting, multi-factor authentication for admin accounts). Apply strict input validation to the icp parameter in the stripfxg function by implementing whitelist-based filtering or parameterized queries to reject special characters and code syntax. Disable the Backend Website Settings Module entirely if not actively used. Monitor /admin/siteconfig.php access logs for suspicious parameter values or administrative login anomalies. Contact ZZCMS vendor or community repositories for patched version availability or security advisories. Consider moving to actively maintained CMS alternatives if ZZCMS development is dormant.
