MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions — remote unauthenticated exploitation against MetInfo CMS versions 7.9, 8.0, and 8.1. Attacker sends crafted HTTP requests containing malicious PHP code to vulnerable input parameters. No authentication, user interaction, or special configuration required. |
| Impact | Despite the absence of CVSS scoring data, this vulnerability carries extremely high real-world risk. The combination of unauthenticated access (no authentication required per description), publicly available exploit code, and PHP code injection leading to remote code execution (RCE) creates an immediate and severe threat. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity-attackers only need to craft and send HTTP requests. The technical impact is critical: full server compromise with arbitrary code execution. Under SSVC framework, this would be classified as having high exploitation likelihood (public POC exists), automated exploitability (no complex multi-step interactions required), and maximum technical impact (remote code execution). The lack of CVSS score does not diminish the severity; rather, it reflects this CVE's recent disclosure or pending official analysis. Organizations should treat this as critical priority regardless of missing CVSS data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a MetInfo CMS 8.0 instance exposed on the internet and sends an HTTP request to a vulnerable endpoint with a crafted payload containing malicious PHP code (e.g., '<?php system($_GET["cmd"]); ?>'). The application's insufficient input validation fails to sanitize the injected code, and the PHP engine executes it directly. The attacker gains immediate remote code execution, creates a web shell for persistent access, and can then exfiltrate database credentials, modify site content, or pivot to internal network systems. Publicly available exploit tools automate this process, allowing attackers with minimal skill to compromise vulnerable instances at scale. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 01, 2026
MetInfo CMS 7.9, 8.0, and 8.1 allows unauthenticated remote code execution through PHP code injection in insufficient input validation mechanisms. Attackers can send crafted requests containing malicious PHP code to execute arbitrary commands and achieve full server compromise without authentication. Publicly available exploit code exists for this vulnerability.
RemediationAI
Organizations running MetInfo CMS should immediately upgrade to versions above 8.1 if available from the vendor. Patch availability and specific remediated versions should be confirmed directly with MetInfo CMS at https://www.metinfo.cn/. As an interim measure, implement network-level access controls to restrict HTTP requests to MetInfo CMS instances to trusted networks only, apply Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block PHP code injection patterns, and monitor logs for suspicious POST/GET requests containing PHP code patterns such as '<?php', 'eval()', 'system()', or 'exec()'. Given the unauthenticated nature and network vector, patching should be expedited as a critical priority. Detailed exploit analysis is available at https://karmainsecurity.com/KIS-2026-06.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code, Code Injection), where MetInfo CMS fails to properly neutralize user-supplied input before passing it to PHP execution contexts. The affected product is a Content Management System written in PHP, as indicated by the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:metinfo_cms:metinfo_cms and the PHP tag. The insufficient input sanitization in the execution path allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code directly on the server, bypassing normal application logic and security controls. This type of vulnerability is particularly severe in CMS platforms because they typically run with elevated privileges and have direct access to databases and file systems.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
MetInfo CMS versions 7.9, 8.0, and 8.1 contain an unauthenticated PHP code injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted requests with malicious PHP code. Attackers can exploit insufficient input neutralization in the execution path to achieve remote code execution and gain full control over the affected server.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
