The vulnerability CVE-2025-13786 affects the taosir WTCMS content management system, specifically the fetch function within the /index.php file. This function improperly handles the 'content' argument, allowing an attacker to perform code injection remotely. The flaw enables execution of arbitrary code on the server without requiring any authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to attackers. The product uses a rolling release model, complicating version tracking and patch management, and the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, leaving no official fix available. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates an attack can be launched over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges needed. The impact is partial on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as injected code could lead to data exposure, unauthorized modifications, or service interruptions. Although no known exploits in the wild have been reported yet, a public exploit is available, increasing the risk of active exploitation. The lack of vendor response and patch availability means organizations must rely on defensive controls and monitoring to mitigate risk. This vulnerability poses a significant threat to any organization using WTCMS, particularly those with internet-facing deployments.

For European organizations, this vulnerability presents a risk of unauthorized remote code execution on web servers running WTCMS, potentially leading to data breaches, defacement, or denial of service. Confidentiality could be compromised through data exfiltration, while integrity and availability may be affected by malicious code altering content or disrupting services. Organizations in sectors with sensitive data or critical online services, such as government, finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, could face operational disruptions and reputational damage. The absence of vendor patches increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially as public exploits are available. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to establish persistent access, pivot within networks, or launch further attacks. European entities relying on WTCMS for content management must consider the threat significant due to the ease of exploitation and potential impact on business continuity and data protection compliance.

Given the lack of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious payloads targeting the 'content' parameter in /index.php. Input validation and sanitization should be enforced at the application level to reject malicious input. Network segmentation and strict access controls can limit exposure of WTCMS servers. Continuous monitoring and logging of web server activity should be enhanced to detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should consider temporarily disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable fetch function if feasible. Regular backups and incident response plans should be updated to prepare for potential compromise. Engaging with the vendor for updates and monitoring security advisories is critical. Finally, organizations should evaluate alternative CMS solutions if patching remains unavailable.
