Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to first obtain a valid session token issued to a FeehiCMS account with elevated privileges (e.g., administrator). Token acquisition is the prerequisite gating condition - the CVSS AC:H metric reflects this requirement. Once a token is held, no further special configuration is needed: the flaw exists in a standard FeehiCMS 2.1.1 deployment. The logout handler's failure to destroy the server-side session record is the core exploitable condition, and this behavior is present by default in the affected version. Limiting factors include: the attacker cannot self-generate a valid token (must steal or intercept one), requiring a secondary attack vector or physical/network proximity; PR:N on the attacker's own account confirms no prior CMS credential is needed; and the absence of availability impact (A:N) indicates the attack is passive/impersonation in nature rather than disruptive.

Impact

The CVSS 7.4 High vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) signals network-reachable exploitation with no attacker credential required, but AC:H is a meaningful brake - the attacker must first acquire a valid session token belonging to a privileged user via a secondary method (interception, XSS, stolen cookie, etc.). This prerequisite substantially limits opportunistic mass exploitation. EPSS at 0.20% (10th percentile) aligns with this: very few observed exploitation attempts in the wild. No CISA KEV listing exists, so active exploitation is not confirmed. However, a public PoC/write-up exists (https://github.com/altamish1994/CVE_Published/blob/main/FeehiCMS/CVE-2026-51953.MD), which lowers the technical barrier for targeted attacks. The high C:H and I:H impact scores mean successful exploitation could yield full account takeover of the impersonated user. In practice, this is a real priority for any organization running FeehiCMS 2.1.1 with internet-exposed login pages, but the attack complexity and niche product footprint reduce systemic risk relative to the raw CVSS score.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker intercepts a valid FeehiCMS session cookie from a privileged user - for example, via ARP spoofing on a shared network or by exploiting a related XSS flaw in the CMS - and stores the token. After the legitimate user logs out, the attacker submits an HTTP request to the CMS bearing the captured cookie; the server, having failed to invalidate the session, accepts it and grants access at the original user's privilege level. A public PoC write-up at https://github.com/altamish1994/CVE_Published/blob/main/FeehiCMS/CVE-2026-51953.MD documents this technique, reducing the required attacker skill.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 03, 2026

Privilege escalation in FeehiCMS v.2.1.1 exploits insufficient session expiration (CWE-613) across the session management module, authentication logic, and logout handler, allowing a network-based attacker to reuse captured session tokens even after legitimate user logout to gain elevated access. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.4 (High) reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact under high attack complexity, with no authentication required on the attacker's side. A public proof-of-concept write-up exists on GitHub; however, EPSS sits at 0.20% (10th percentile) and no CISA KEV listing exists, suggesting limited observed exploitation despite available exploit documentation.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version has been identified at time of analysis. Operators should monitor the upstream repository at https://github.com/liufee/cms for any commits or releases addressing session invalidation. As compensating controls: enforce server-side session destruction on logout by deleting the session record from the datastore (not merely clearing the client-side cookie), which directly closes the replay window but requires a code change. Implement short absolute session lifetimes (e.g., 30-60 minutes) to limit the replay window; this may inconvenience long-session workflows. Set session cookies with the HttpOnly and Secure flags to reduce token exposure via JavaScript or plaintext HTTP, though this does not address the server-side invalidation gap. Restrict the CMS administrative interface to trusted IP ranges or a VPN to reduce the attacker's ability to deliver a replayed token from an external network. None of these controls eliminate the root flaw - a code-level fix to the logout handler is required.

Technical ContextAI · show details

FeehiCMS is a PHP-based content management system (source at https://github.com/liufee/cms). The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration), a class of flaw where server-side session records are not invalidated when a user logs out - meaning the session token remains valid on the server even after the client is told to discard it. The flaw spans three components: the session management module (token lifecycle), authentication logic (session-to-identity binding), and the logout handler (which apparently fails to destroy the server-side session record). An attacker who possesses a previously issued session token can replay it post-logout and impersonate the original user at whatever privilege level that user held. The NVD CPE entry is listed as cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a, indicating NVD had not completed formal product mapping at the time of analysis. The EUVD entry EUVD-2026-51653 corroborates the CVE but similarly lacks a resolved CPE.

DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in FeehiCMS v.2.1.1 allows an attacker to escalate privileges via the Session management module, authentication logic, logout handler components

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

FeehiCMS v.2.1.1 contains a high-severity session hijacking vulnerability that allows attackers to capture and reuse user session tokens to gain elevated system access. Publicly available exploit code exists, creating active risk for organizations running affected versions, particularly those with internet-facing deployments or processing sensitive customer data.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: enforce strict session expiration (15-30 minutes maximum), require re-authentication for any privilege escalation operations, bind all user sessions to originating IP address to prevent cross-network token reuse, monitor for concurrent sessions per user account as indicator of compromise, enable comprehensive forensic logging of session lifecycle events, and develop incident response procedures for potential compromised session recovery.
