MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Impact

Maximum risk (CVSS 10.0). Unauthenticated RCE with no user interaction required. Craft CMS powers thousands of websites, and the vulnerability spans three major versions. EPSS of 79% confirms high exploitation probability.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker scans for Craft CMS installations using fingerprinting techniques, then sends a crafted HTTP request that injects PHP code into the server-side execution context, gaining a web shell for persistent access, data exfiltration, or lateral movement.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Why: In CISA KEV with patch available.

DescriptionNVD

Craft is a flexible, user-friendly CMS for creating custom digital experiences on the web and beyond. Starting from version 3.0.0-RC1 to before 3.9.15, 4.0.0-RC1 to before 4.14.15, and 5.0.0-RC1 to before 5.6.17, Craft is vulnerable to remote code execution. This is a high-impact, low-complexity attack vector. This issue has been patched in versions 3.9.15, 4.14.15, and 5.6.17, and is an additional fix for CVE-2023-41892.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Craft CMS versions 3.0 through 5.6.16 contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on affected servers without requiring user credentials or authentication. Organizations running Craft CMS are at immediate risk of complete system compromise, data theft, and malware deployment, as this vulnerability is confirmed actively exploited in the wild with public exploit code available and a 79% probability of exploitation.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching cannot be completed immediately: implement network-layer access controls restricting inbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic to Craft CMS instances to trusted IP ranges only; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules blocking HTTP requests containing known RCE payload signatures; disable public-facing Craft CMS functionality until patches are applied; monitor application logs and web server logs for suspicious requests and command execution patterns.

Attack Technique

Code Injection CRITICAL

Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
