MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a high-privileged page editor account within the target Concrete CMS installation - confirmed by CVSS PR:H in the vendor-provided vector. The RSS Displayer block must be available to that editor (CVSS AT:P - a prerequisite attack condition is explicitly required). The CMS application server must be capable of making outbound HTTP requests and must follow redirects to the target internal address. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the high privilege bar - casual external attackers without valid editor credentials cannot trigger this; (2) the RSS Displayer block dependency - environments that do not use this block are not exposed; (3) network egress controls - if outbound connections from the application server to internal ranges are already blocked, redirect-based SSRF impact is nullified; and (4) scoped impact - even successful exploitation yields at most low integrity effects and limited internal network probing (VC:N per CVSS), not remote code execution or credential exfiltration. |
| Impact | The CVSS v4.0 score of 2.1 is unusually low and accurately reflects multiple converging risk-reduction factors. PR:H (High Privileges Required) is the dominant constraint: the attacker must already possess a valid, high-privileged page editor account within the Concrete CMS installation, restricting realistic exploitation to insider threats, credential-compromise follow-on attacks, or misconfigured access control environments. AT:P further narrows the attack surface by requiring the RSS Displayer block to be present and available. Impact signals reinforce the low score: VC:N rules out confidentiality breaches on the CMS host itself, VI:L indicates only marginal integrity effects, and SC:L acknowledges limited subsequent-system confidentiality exposure consistent with internal network probing rather than meaningful data exfiltration. No EPSS score is available in the provided data, making probabilistic exploitation frequency assessment impossible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified, meaning no evidence of active or widespread exploitation exists at time of analysis. The overall picture is a real but heavily gated vulnerability: not a critical priority for most organizations unless the threat model includes malicious insiders or environments where high-privilege CMS accounts are broadly distributed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or already holds a high-privileged page editor account on a Concrete CMS 9.5.0 installation edits a page, inserts an RSS Displayer block, and configures it with a URL pointing to an attacker-controlled HTTP server. That server responds with an HTTP redirect to an internal address such as http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ (cloud instance metadata) or an internal REST API endpoint. The CMS server follows the redirect and fetches the internal resource, potentially returning contents to the attacker or confirming internal infrastructure topology. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 21, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and earlier allows authenticated high-privileged page editors to direct the application server to fetch attacker-controlled URLs via the RSS Displayer block, with redirect-following behavior bypassing input validation to reach internal network resources. The CVSS v4.0 score of 2.1 (PR:H, AT:P) reflects that exploitation is constrained to users already holding page editor privileges and requires the RSS Displayer block to be in active use. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, placing it in a low real-world priority tier absent insider-threat or post-compromise scenarios.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.1, which is documented as addressing this SSRF in the vendor's release notes at https://documentation.concretecms.org/9-x/developers/introduction/version-history/951-release-notes. Note that the fix version 9.5.1 is inferred from the NVD reference pointing to those release notes and has not been independently verified beyond that source. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, administrators should remove or disable the RSS Displayer block from all page templates and editor toolkits, which eliminates the vulnerable surface entirely at the cost of RSS feed display functionality. As a secondary compensating control, configuring egress firewall rules on the CMS application server to block outbound HTTP/HTTPS connections to RFC-1918 private address ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and cloud metadata addresses (169.254.169.254) will limit the blast radius of any SSRF exploitation, though this does not remediate the vulnerability and may interfere with legitimate internal integrations. Finally, auditing and tightening the assignment of the high-privilege page editor role reduces the pool of accounts capable of triggering the vulnerability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) describes vulnerabilities where an application fetches a remote resource based on user-supplied input without adequately validating the destination. In Concrete CMS, the RSS Displayer block is designed to allow page editors to specify an external RSS feed URL, which the CMS server then fetches server-side to render content. The flaw lies in the absence of redirect validation: an attacker can supply a URL hosted on an attacker-controlled server that immediately issues an HTTP 301/302 redirect to an internal address (e.g., RFC-1918 ranges, cloud instance metadata endpoints such as 169.254.169.254, or internal APIs). Because the server follows redirects without confirming the resolved destination is permitted, the internal fetch occurs outside the intended validation scope. The CVSS 4.0 vector component AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present) confirms a prerequisite condition - specifically, the RSS Displayer block must be deployed and accessible to the page editor. Exact CPE strings were not provided in the available intelligence data; affected scope is described in the vendor advisory as version 9.5.0 and below in the 9.x branch.

DescriptionCVE.org
In Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below, the RSS Displayer block accepts a feed URL from any page editor and fetches it server-side without validation enabling redirect-to-internal bypasses. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 2.1 with a vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N.
