Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions required - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below installations. The CVSS:4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication, no elevated privilege, no specific configuration flag, and no user interaction are needed. The only practical limiting factor is that the attacker must know or enumerate numeric file IDs, which in Concrete CMS are typically sequential integers starting from 1, making brute-enumeration trivial. Exploitation impact is bounded to read-only metadata disclosure (VC:L) - no file content, credentials, or write access are exposed through this endpoint alone.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N reflects a fully unauthenticated, low-complexity, no-interaction network attack - the lowest possible barrier to exploitation. Impact is limited to low confidentiality (VC:L) with zero integrity or availability impact, which appropriately anchors the score below critical. No CISA KEV listing and no confirmed POC code exist at time of analysis, so EPSS-equivalent opportunistic exploitation risk is moderate. The real-world risk is primarily reconnaissance: an attacker can silently enumerate the full internal page graph, discovering restricted draft pages, staff-only sections, or staged content paths before launching a targeted credential or social-engineering attack. For sites with sensitive restricted content (intranets, member portals, staged content), the effective risk is higher than the raw score implies. No conflicting signals are present in the available data - CVSS vector and description are consistent.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends sequential HTTP GET requests to https://target-site.com/ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/1, /2, /3, and so on. For each valid file ID, the CMS returns a JSON or HTML response listing every page that references that file, including page IDs, URL handles, and full URLs - even for pages restricted to authenticated roles. Within minutes, the attacker builds a complete map of the site's content structure, including hidden draft pages and access-controlled sections, enabling targeted follow-on attacks. No public exploit code is required; a simple curl loop or browser is sufficient given the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 21, 2026

Unauthenticated file usage disclosure in Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below exposes internal page structure to any network-accessible visitor without credentials. The usage controller endpoint /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/{fID} lacks a permission check, returning page IDs, URL handles, and full URLs for every page referencing a given file - including pages explicitly restricted by CMS access controls. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS:4.0 AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N vector confirms trivial, unauthenticated network exploitation with no complexity barrier.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.1, which addresses this missing permission check per the vendor release notes at https://documentation.concretecms.org/9-x/developers/introduction/version-history/951-release-notes. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict unauthenticated access to the path /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/ at the web server (nginx location block or Apache <Location>) or WAF layer - note this will break the legitimate admin file-usage dialog in the CMS backend, so the restriction should be removed promptly after patching. No other workarounds that preserve full admin functionality have been identified from available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Concrete CMS is a PHP-based content management system with a file management subsystem that tracks which pages reference uploaded assets. The usage controller provides this mapping to administrators via the dialog endpoint /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/{fID}, where {fID} is a numeric file identifier. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) identifies the root cause: the controller returns sensitive relational data - page handles, IDs, and full URLs - without verifying whether the requesting party holds any session, role, or permission. Concrete CMS file IDs are typically sequential integers, making enumeration straightforward. The disclosure includes pages that CMS permission rules otherwise hide from unauthenticated users, breaking the site's content access control model at the metadata level.

DescriptionCVE.org

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below  is vulnerable to unauthenticated file usage disclosure via missing permission check in the usage controller.  Any unauthenticated visitor can request /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/{fID} with any file ID and receive a list of every page that references that file, including page IDs, handles, and full URLs. This includes pages that are otherwise restricted by permissions.The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 6.9 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Eldudareeno for reporting.
