Exploitation Conditions

No authentication is required; the CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:N and UI:N, indicating the endpoint is accessible to anonymous network users. The sole prerequisite is that the target SeaCMS installation is internet-accessible and includes the DM player component (located at js/player/dmplayer/dmku/), which appears to be bundled by default. No special configuration or elevated privileges are required on the attacker side. Exploitation is limited to installations running SeaCMS 13.3 or earlier; the PHP environment must have the MySQL/MySQLi extension active, which is standard for SeaCMS deployments.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.5 (Medium) aligns with the bounded impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) and reflects partial, not full, database access - consistent with SQL injection without direct OS-level code execution. EPSS at 0.05% (15th percentile) is notably low despite public POC availability, suggesting limited in-the-wild targeting to date; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica running a public-facing SeaCMS site should treat this as a prompt patching item rather than a critical emergency. The E:P supplemental metric in the CVSS 4.0 vector confirms proof-of-concept exploit code is publicly circulating, which lowers the attacker skill bar and could drive opportunistic scanning. No KEV listing exists, meaning active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA. The PR:N attack vector means any internet-exposed SeaCMS installation is potentially reachable without prior access, but the limited C/I/A impact (all Low) and niche deployment footprint moderate overall organizational risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP GET or POST request to the DM player API endpoint with a malicious page parameter such as 1 UNION SELECT username,password,3 FROM seacms_admin--, causing the unparameterized query in mysqli.class.php to return administrative credential hashes in the response. A public proof-of-concept exists documenting this technique, lowering the bar to script-kiddie-level exploitation.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026

SQL injection in SeaCMS up to version 13.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate the page and limit parameters in the DM player component's database abstraction layer (js/player/dmplayer/dmku/class/mysqli.class.php), yielding read and write access to the underlying database. The affected component fails to sanitize pagination inputs before constructing SQL queries, exposing database contents including user credentials and site configuration. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been disclosed, though EPSS remains low at 0.05%, reflecting the product's limited global deployment footprint.

RemediationAI

No confirmed patched version is identified in the available intelligence; upgrade availability should be verified directly with the SeaCMS project or via the VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/?id.337707. As an immediate compensating control, restrict external access to the DM player endpoint path (/js/player/dmplayer/dmku/) via web server ACL or WAF rule blocking requests where page or limit parameters contain SQL metacharacters (single quotes, dashes, semicolons, UNION, SELECT). If the DM player feature is not actively used, disabling or removing the dmplayer directory eliminates the attack surface with no functional trade-off. Additionally, ensure the MySQL user account used by SeaCMS has minimal privileges (SELECT only where writes are unnecessary) to limit blast radius from a successful injection.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SeaCMS is a PHP-based content management system primarily deployed in Chinese web environments (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:seacms:seacms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerable code resides in the DM video player sub-component at js/player/dmplayer/dmku/class/mysqli.class.php, a MySQL database wrapper class used by the embedded media player module. The page and limit parameters - typical pagination inputs - are passed directly into SQL query construction without parameterization or sanitization, constituting a classic CWE-89 SQL Injection (filed under the parent CWE-74 Injection taxonomy). The CVSS 4.0 vector's PR:N and UI:N metrics confirm the endpoint is reachable without authentication or user interaction.
