CVE-2026-12257: CWE-79 Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Mura Software CMS
Mura CMS versions at exactly 10.0.712 contain a vulnerability in the /index.cfm/_api/json/v1/default endpoint where the 'method' parameter in POST requests is not properly sanitized. This allows remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) expressions and instantiate malicious Java objects. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input leading to cross-site scripting) and has a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1, indicating medium severity. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-12257 affects Mura CMS version 10.0.712 and involves improper input validation of the 'method' parameter in POST requests to the /index.cfm/_api/json/v1/default endpoint. This flaw enables remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary CFML code and instantiate malicious Java objects via the ColdFusion engine, potentially compromising system security. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-79, indicating cross-site scripting due to improper input neutralization. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and low scope and impact metrics. No patch or official remediation level has been disclosed yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary CFML code and instantiate malicious Java objects on the affected system, potentially leading to system compromise. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without privileges but requires user interaction. The CVSS score of 5.1 reflects a medium severity impact with limited scope and impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint and monitor for suspicious activity involving the 'method' parameter in POST requests. Avoid exposing the endpoint to untrusted networks if possible.
