CVE-2025-50567: n/a
Saurus CMS Community Edition 4.7.1 contains a vulnerability in the custom DB::prepare() function, which uses preg_replace() with the deprecated /e (eval) modifier to interpolate SQL query parameters. This leads to injection of user-controlled SQL statements, potentially leading to arbitrary PHP code execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in Saurus CMS Community Edition 4.7.1 arises from the use of preg_replace() with the deprecated /e (eval) modifier in the custom DB::prepare() function. This unsafe usage allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL statements that can be evaluated as PHP code, resulting in arbitrary code execution. The issue combines CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection). No official patch or fix has been provided as of the published date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server running Saurus CMS 4.7.1. This can lead to full system compromise, data theft, or service disruption. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without privileges or user interaction, making it highly critical.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid using Saurus CMS Community Edition 4.7.1 in untrusted environments. Consider applying application-level protections such as disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable DB::prepare() functionality if possible.
