Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required - the /api.php/user/get_list endpoint is exposed to any unauthenticated remote attacker with network-level access to the Maccms v10 instance. No authentication, no specific application configuration, and no user interaction is needed beyond sending a standard HTTP GET request. Exploitation is constrained by network accessibility: instances deployed exclusively behind a VPN, internal firewall, or with IP-allowlist restrictions at the network perimeter would not be remotely exploitable. The impact is limited to read-only data exposure (C:H/I:N/A:N) - this endpoint cannot be used to create, modify, or delete records, nor to disrupt service availability.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (High) accurately represents the real-world risk profile. The vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms fully unauthenticated, low-complexity network exploitation requiring no user interaction against default-configured deployments - there is no gap between theoretical and practical exploitability. The EPSS score of 0.32% (24th percentile) signals that, despite trivial mechanics, this CVE has not yet been incorporated into widespread threat actor toolkits at time of analysis. No active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV. These signals are consistent: the affected product has limited global footprint, which suppresses EPSS even when the technical bar is minimal. The impact is strictly confined to confidentiality (I:N, A:N) - attackers cannot modify records or disrupt service through this vector - but harvested user data (emails, usernames) directly enables credential stuffing and targeted phishing as follow-on campaigns. The combination of low exploitation probability and bounded-but-real confidentiality impact places this as a genuine medium-priority remediation for organizations running Maccms v10 publicly.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker targeting media-streaming sites identifies a publicly accessible Maccms v10 instance and issues GET /api.php/user/get_list?limit=100&offset=0, receiving a paginated JSON payload of registered user records with no credential prompt. By scripting sequential offset increments, the attacker extracts the full user database within minutes and loads harvested email addresses into a credential stuffing tool targeting common email providers and streaming platforms. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only a browser or curl command.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 31, 2026

Unauthenticated user data enumeration in Maccms v10 v2026.1000.4055 allows any remote attacker to retrieve the complete registered user database through the /api.php/user/get_list endpoint, which performs no authentication or authorization checks whatsoever. Attackers craft HTTP GET requests with limit and offset parameters to paginate through all user records, exposing usernames, email addresses, and any other stored profile data. EPSS at 0.32% (24th percentile) and absence from CISA KEV indicate no current widespread exploitation, though the trivial single-request attack mechanic makes this a viable data-harvesting vector if the application gains attacker attention.

RemediationAI

No patched version beyond v2026.1000.4055 has been confirmed - the GitHub release reference in the CVE data points to the vulnerable version itself, not a subsequent fix. Administrators should monitor the vendor's release page at https://github.com/magicblack/maccms10/releases for a remediation build. As an immediate compensating control, restrict access to the /api.php/user/get_list route at the web server level (e.g., via nginx location block or Apache RewriteRule) to deny unauthenticated or non-admin-IP requests; this eliminates external exposure with minimal application-layer side effects. If a WAF is in place, add a rule blocking GET requests to /api.php containing user/get_list in the query string. Additionally, audit all other /api.php/* routes for similar missing authentication checks, as the pattern of omitting middleware on API routes may be systemic. Access logs should be reviewed for historical offset-paginated requests to this endpoint to determine whether data harvesting has already occurred.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Maccms v10 is a PHP-based content management system designed for video and media streaming sites, predominantly deployed in Chinese-speaking markets. The vulnerable endpoint /api.php/user/get_list is a paginated user listing API that accepts limit and offset GET parameters to traverse the user database. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) identifies the root cause: the route handler entirely omits identity verification and permission enforcement, meaning no authentication middleware was applied to the endpoint rather than a misconfiguration of existing controls. In PHP CMS architectures, such API endpoints typically issue direct database queries and serialize full user record objects into the response, potentially including password hashes, registration timestamps, and contact details alongside display names. The release notes for v2026.1000.4055 document numerous security hardening additions (CSRF protection, SSRF outbound filtering, paid-download access controls) but do not reference a fix for this user enumeration endpoint, confirming the omission persisted into the latest release.

DescriptionCVE.org

The /api.php/user/get_list endpoint in Maccms v10 v2026.1000.4055 is vulnerable to an Incorrect Access Control issue. The interface fails to perform any authentication or authorization checks. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted HTTP GET request with limit and offset parameters to paginate and retrieve sensitive information of all registered users.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Maccms v10 v2026.1000.4055 contains a data exposure vulnerability enabling remote attackers to retrieve the complete user database including usernames, email addresses, and personal profile data without requiring authentication. Organizations running this product face immediate risk of customer data breach with regulatory compliance violations (GDPR, CCPA), breach notification costs, and reputational damage. Urgent action to restrict the affected endpoint is required pending vendor remediation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block /api.php/user/get_list; implement strict rate limiting and IP-based access controls on user endpoints; disable the endpoint entirely if not required for operations; enable comprehensive API access logging to detect unauthorized data retrieval; segment the affected system from critical production environments; conduct immediate audit of access logs to determine if unauthorized access has already occurred; prepare breach notification procedures and legal review for regulatory compliance obligations.
