Exploitation Conditions

Three specific conditions must all be true for exploitation: (1) the attacker must hold an authenticated account on the Concrete CMS site with at minimum view-only permission on at least one Express entry (PR:L - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible); (2) the target site must be using the Concrete CMS Express application-builder feature (not enabled or configured by default); (3) the site must be specifically relying on Express entity ordering, meaning the Reorder dialog is in active use. The CVSS 4.0 vector's AT:P flag formally encodes conditions 2 and 3 as required attack prerequisites. Sites using Concrete CMS purely for standard page/content management without Express are not affected. Impact is bounded to entity ordering manipulation - no privilege escalation, no data exfiltration, no availability disruption.

Impact

All available risk signals converge on very low real-world priority. The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 score is 2.3 - among the lowest possible - reflecting narrow impact (VI:L only, no confidentiality or availability impact) and the presence of attack prerequisites (AT:P). EPSS is 0.04% at the 12th percentile, meaning the exploitation probability is lower than approximately 88% of all CVEs, indicating minimal threat actor interest. SSVC confirms exploitation status as 'none' and marks the vulnerability as not automatable, with only partial technical impact. There is no CISA KEV listing and no publicly available exploit code. The primary limiting factors are that the victim site must deliberately deploy and configure Express entity ordering (non-default), and the attacker must already hold an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L in the vendor vector). The integrity impact is confined to reordering data entries - not deletion, modification of content, or privilege escalation. This is a real finding but not an operational priority for most organizations.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privilege user with view-only access to a Concrete CMS Express entry manually crafts a reorder HTTP request substituting entity IDs belonging to other entries they do not control. The Reorder dialog endpoint processes the request without validating that the user holds the required write-level permission, resulting in the ordering state of unrelated entities being altered. No public POC exists; exploitation requires knowledge of valid entity IDs and a site that has Express entity ordering deployed.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and earlier exposes an IDOR combined with an incorrect authorization level check in the Express association Reorder dialog, enabling authenticated users with only view-only permission to tamper with entity ordering state for entries they do not own. The flaw is limited to sites actively using the Concrete CMS Express application-builder feature with entity ordering configured - a non-default deployment subset. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; all available signals (CVSS 4.0 of 2.3, EPSS at 0.04%, SSVC exploitation: none) consistently characterize this as a low-priority, narrow-impact finding.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.1 or later, which resolves this vulnerability per the vendor's 9.5.1 release notes (https://documentation.concretecms.org/9-x/developers/introduction/version-history/951-release-notes). Sites that are not using the Concrete CMS Express feature or are not relying on Express entity ordering are entirely unaffected and require no action. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators can disable or restrict access to the Express association Reorder dialog - note this would prevent legitimate reordering of Express entities. Minimizing the number of accounts with even view-only Express entry permissions reduces the exploitable population further. Patch confirmed available per vendor advisory.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Concrete CMS Express is an integrated application-builder module that allows site administrators to define custom data entities and associations. The Reorder dialog for Express associations accepts user-controlled entity identifiers (keys) to reorder entries but fails to enforce the correct authorization level - specifically, it does not verify that the requesting user holds write-level (rather than view-only) permission before committing ordering changes. This maps directly to CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), where an attacker manipulates an object reference that the application fails to properly gate with adequate permission checks. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:concrete_cms:concrete_cms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms this affects the core CMS package. The vendor's CVSS 4.0 vector includes AT:P (attack requirements: present), formally acknowledging that the Express feature with entity ordering must be configured on the target site.

DescriptionCVE.org

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR + wrong-authorization-level in the Express association Reorder dialog.  This can cause Cross-entity state tampering with view-only permission on one entry. To be affected, a website has to be using express and relying on express entity ordering. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 2.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Winston Crooker for reporting.
