CVE-2026-36458: n/a
ChestnutCMS version 1.5.10 contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the admin backend. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the content parameter in the cms_content tag, which is injected into a SQL query during template rendering. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-36458 identifies a critical SQL injection vulnerability in ChestnutCMS v1.5.10. Specifically, the content parameter of the cms_content tag in the admin backend is not properly sanitized before being used in a SQL query during template rendering. This allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code without requiring privileges or user interaction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting its ease of exploitation and severe impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, and potential full system compromise. The attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands, which may result in extraction of sensitive information, deletion or alteration of data, and disruption of service.
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 admin backend and applying compensating controls such as web application firewalls to detect and block SQL injection attempts.
