ImpressCMS contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the custom tag module that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code by storing a malicious payload in a custom tag with PHP type enabled. The application decodes HTML-encoded content via undoHtmlSpecialChars() before passing it to eval() in the renderWithPhp() method, bypassing HTML Purifier sanitization, and the payload is triggered on every frontend page load through the preload event system.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated remote code execution in ImpressCMS allows administrators with access to the custom tag module to store and persistently execute arbitrary PHP code across all frontend page loads. The root mechanism is a decode-then-eval pattern: the application's renderWithPhp() method calls undoHtmlSpecialChars() on stored tag content before passing it to eval(), causing HTML Purifier sanitization to be bypassed entirely since purification operates on the encoded form. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a fully authenticated administrator account on the target ImpressCMS instance - the CVSS 4.0 vector confirms PR:H (high privileges required), meaning standard registered user access is insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) scores 8.6 and reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system, with no subsequent-system impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has acquired administrator credentials - through phishing, credential stuffing, or password reuse - logs into the ImpressCMS admin panel and creates or edits a custom tag with PHP type enabled, inserting HTML-encoded PHP code such as a reverse shell or web shell payload. The undoHtmlSpecialChars() function decodes the payload before eval() executes it on the next page load, and from that point forward every unauthenticated visitor's browser request to any frontend page silently re-executes the attacker's code as the web server process. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - no specific fixed version appears in any provided reference. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify and audit all active ImpressCMS administrator accounts; determine if the custom tag module is operationally required; disable it immediately if unused. …
