Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, 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: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system 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 to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 24 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), 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.

AI-suggested

Immediately restrict access to the Template Management Page and the delete_dir_file function to trusted administrators only, using network segmentation and access control lists.
Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the temn/tp parameter at the application or web server level to block path traversal characters such as '../'.
Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious path traversal attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Regularly back up all CMS files and templates to enable rapid recovery in case of file deletion.
Monitor server and application logs for unusual deletion requests or errors related to template files.
If possible, disable or remove the delete_dir_file functionality temporarily until a vendor patch is available.
Limit administrative privileges strictly to reduce the risk of exploitation by insiders or compromised accounts.
Stay alert for vendor updates or community patches and apply them promptly once available.
Conduct security audits and penetration tests focusing on path traversal and file deletion vulnerabilities within the CMS environment.

Description

A vulnerability was determined in MuYuCMS 2.7. Affected is the function delete_dir_file of the file application/admin/controller/Template.php of the component Template Management Page. This manipulation of the argument temn/tp causes path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential deletion of arbitrary files or directories on affected servers, which can lead to partial or full service disruption. This could cause website downtime, loss of critical template files, or corruption of the CMS installation, impacting availability. Since the vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or integrity directly, data theft or unauthorized data modification is less likely. However, the deletion of files could indirectly lead to integrity issues if backups are not available or if critical system files are removed. Organizations relying on MuYuCMS 2.7 for their web presence or internal portals could face operational disruptions, reputational damage, and increased recovery costs. The requirement for high privileges to exploit the vulnerability limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where administrative access is not tightly controlled. The public disclosure without a vendor patch increases the urgency for mitigation to prevent exploitation by opportunistic attackers.
