Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires authenticated administrative access to MaxSite CMS with privilege level High (PR:H per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Despite the moderate CVSS 4.8 score, real-world risk is substantially constrained by multiple limiting factors. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An administrator with high privilege access to MaxSite CMS navigates to the Antispam Plugin settings at /admin/plugin_antispam. An attacker-either an insider with admin credentials, or an external threat who compromised an admin account-modifies the f_logging_file parameter to include a malicious JavaScript payload such as `<script>alert('XSS')</script>` or a credential-stealing script. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade MaxSite CMS to version 109.4 or later, which implements htmlspecialchars() output encoding on the f_logging_file parameter as confirmed by vendor patch 8a3946bd0a54bfb72a4d57179fcd253f2c550cd7. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
