| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (Medium) with E:P (proof-of-concept) and an unauthenticated network vector places this above typical medium-severity treatment. The impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) are modest - the scoring likely reflects that SQL injection here does not directly yield OS-level code execution - but limited database read/write is still serious for a CMS, as it may expose user credentials, session tokens, or content data stored in the database. No CISA KEV listing exists, and EPSS data is not provided in the input, so widespread active exploitation is not confirmed. However, the public POC lowers the technical bar to near zero, meaning even opportunistic, non-targeted attackers can exploit this. The attack complexity is low, requires no privileges, and no user interaction - a mid-tier defender prioritizing by raw CVSS score alone would underweight this. The absence of KEV is the main limiting signal; without it, this is best classified as elevated risk due to POC availability rather than confirmed mass exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote SQL injection in SeaCMS 13.6 and earlier exposes database contents and integrity via the /zyapi.php?ac=videolist API endpoint. An attacker with network access can manipulate the ids parameter to inject arbitrary SQL, enabling read, write, or deletion of backend database records. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been released, meaning exploitation requires minimal skill and no authentication.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or official advisory has been identified in the provided data at the time of analysis. The fix version is not independently confirmed. As a compensating control, operators should restrict external access to /zyapi.php via web server configuration (e.g., deny access by IP allowlist or remove public exposure of the endpoint if not needed externally) - note this may break legitimate API consumers. Additionally, deploying a web application firewall with SQL injection rules for the ids parameter can reduce exposure, though WAF bypass is possible. If the CMS database user has write privileges, restricting the application's DB account to read-only access on non-administrative tables limits the integrity and availability impact. Monitor the researcher advisory at https://github.com/T-Chachamaru/seacms-13.6-security-advisories/blob/a084a3e573240d54860153321df271280daec262/c-004-zyapi-ids-sql-injection.md and the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/vuln/397102 for patch availability updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SeaCMS is a PHP-based video content management system. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), where the ids parameter passed to /zyapi.php with the ac=videolist action is concatenated directly into a SQL query without parameterization or proper escaping. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:n/a:seacms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all versions up to and including 13.6. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms the endpoint is publicly reachable with no authentication or special attack prerequisites, consistent with a typical unauthenticated API handler in a PHP CMS.
