Description
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input when adding Posts to navigation menus through the Menu Management functionality. Post-related data selected via the Posts section is stored server-side and rendered without proper output encoding. These stored values are later rendered unsafely within administrative dashboards and public-facing navigation menus, resulting in stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS). This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.
Analysis
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in CI4MS menu management allows authenticated users with low privileges to inject malicious scripts that execute in administrator and public user contexts. Affecting CI4MS versions prior to 0.31.0.0, attackers can exploit insufficient input sanitization when adding Posts to navigation menus, achieving cross-scope code execution (CVSS scope changed) with potential for session hijacking and administrative account compromise. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all CI4MS instances in production and document current version numbers; restrict menu management access to administrators only pending patch deployment. Within 7 days: Deploy vendor-released patch to CI4MS version 0.31.0.0 or later across all affected instances; validate patch application in staging before production rollout. …
