Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 16 Oct 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-48758, organizations should implement robust CSRF protections immediately. This includes deploying anti-CSRF tokens in all forms and state-changing requests, especially those involving the addPro parameter in doAdminAction.php. Input validation and strict parameter whitelisting should be enforced to prevent injection of malicious payloads. Restrict access to administrative interfaces by IP whitelisting, VPNs, or multi-factor authentication to reduce exposure. Monitoring and logging of administrative actions can help detect suspicious activity. Since no official patches are available, consider applying virtual patching via web application firewalls (WAF) to block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable parameter. Educate users and administrators about the risks of CSRF and the importance of avoiding clicking on untrusted links while authenticated. Regularly review and update CMS components and monitor vendor advisories for forthcoming patches. Finally, conduct penetration testing to verify the effectiveness of implemented mitigations.

Description

dingfanzu CMS V1.0 was discovered to contain a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) via the addPro parameter of the component doAdminAction.php which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-48758 is unauthorized code execution through CSRF attacks, which can lead to compromise of system integrity and confidentiality. Attackers can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands or inject malicious code, potentially leading to data leakage, unauthorized changes to website content, or further system compromise. Although availability is not directly affected, the integrity and confidentiality breaches can result in significant operational disruptions and loss of trust. Organizations relying on dingfanzu CMS for content management, especially those with internet-facing administrative portals, face increased risk of targeted attacks. The vulnerability's exploitation requires user interaction but no authentication, broadening the attack surface. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the vulnerability could be weaponized if exploited by threat actors. This poses a particular threat to organizations with sensitive data or critical web infrastructure managed by dingfanzu CMS.

Compound weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #3OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Architecture and Design
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
