| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2023-48648 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Nov 17, 2023 | Concrete CMS before 8.5.13 and 9.x before 9.2.2 allows unauthorized access because directories can be created with insecure permissions. File creation functions (such as the Mkdir() function) gives universal access (0777) to created folders by default. Excessive permissions can be granted when creating a directory with permissions greater than 0755 or when the permissions argument is not specified. |
| CVE-2022-21829 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Jun 24, 2022 | Concrete CMS Versions 9.0.0 through 9.0.2 and 8.5.7 and below can download zip files over HTTP and execute code from those zip files which could lead to an RCE. Fixed by enforcing ‘concrete_secure’ instead of ‘concrete’. Concrete now only makes requests over https even a request comes in via http. Concrete CMS security team ranked this 8 with CVSS v3.1 vector: AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H Credit goes to Anna for reporting HackerOne 1482520. |
| CVE-2026-8134 | CRITICAL | 9.4 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below fails to sanitize path traversal sequences in the ptComposerFormLayoutSetControlCustomTemplate field when saving page type composer form layouts. An authenticated rogue administrator with composer form editing rights can exploit this to include arbitrary readable files on the server. Combined with the file uploader's extension-only validation (which permits PHP code in files saved with image extensions like .png), this can result in authenticated remote code executio |
| CVE-2022-30117 | CRITICAL | 9.1 | Jun 24, 2022 | Concrete 8.5.7 and below as well as Concrete 9.0 through 9.0.2 allow traversal in /index.php/ccm/system/file/upload which could result in an Arbitrary File Delete exploit. This was remediated by sanitizing /index.php/ccm/system/file/upload to ensure Concrete doesn’t allow traversal and by changing isFullChunkFilePresent to have an early false return when input doesn't match expectations.Concrete CMS Security team ranked this 5.8 with CVSS v3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H.

| CVE-2026-8135 | HIGH | 8.9 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to insecure deserialization occurring in the ExpressEntryList block controller. An rogue administrator with privileges to add blocks to an area can bypass the intended protection mechanism (_fromCIF === true), which normally restricts malicious inputs over form POST requests, by leveraging the REST API functionality. Because the REST API parses requests using json_decode(), the string "true" is evaluated as a strict PHP Boo |
| CVE-2026-3452 | HIGH | 8.9 | Mar 4, 2026 | Concrete CMS below version 9.4.8 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution by stored PHP object injection into the Express Entry List block via the columns parameter. An authenticated administrator can store attacker-controlled serialized data in block configuration fields that are later passed to unserialize() without class restrictions or integrity checks. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 8.9 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/ |
| CVE-2022-43693 | HIGH | 8.8 | Nov 14, 2022 | Concrete CMS is vulnerable to CSRF due to the lack of "State" parameter for external Concrete authentication service for users of Concrete who use the "out of the box" core OAuth. |
| CVE-2026-8428 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below emits a CSRF token in the local_available_update.php view ($token->output('do_update')) but the corresponding do_update() method in concrete/controllers/single_page/dashboard/system/update/update.php never calls $this->token->validate('do_update'). The form is rendered as a POST form, meaning the token reaches the browser, but because the controller discards it without verification, an attacker can craft a cross-site POST that triggers a core CMS update to an attacke |
| CVE-2026-8426 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below does not validate a CSRF token before processing requests to /dashboard/extend/update/prepare_remote_upgrade/<remoteMPID>. An attacker who controls the remote package returned for a known marketplace item ID can overwrite the package PHP on disk and force its upgrade() method to execute in a single browser navigation. This results in remote code execution as the web server user. In order to be vulnerable, the victim must be passing canInstallPackages, victim site m |
| CVE-2026-8421 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below contains a CSRF vulnerability in the install_package() method of concrete/controllers/single_page/dashboard/extend/install.php. An attacker who can cause an authenticated administrator to visit a crafted page, and who has placed or caused a package to be present under DIR_PACKAGES/<handle>/, can force the installation of that package without any CSRF protection. Package installation executes the package controller's install() method as the web server user, enabling |
| CVE-2026-8417 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below does not validate a CSRF token before processing requests to /dashboard/extend/update/do_update/<pkgHandle>. The do_update() method in concrete/controllers/single_page/dashboard/extend/update.php checks only canInstallPackages() before executing upgradeCoreData() and upgrade() on the named package's controller. Because the endpoint is a state-changing GET route with no token enforcement, an attacker can force an authenticated administrator to trigger a package upgrad |
| CVE-2026-8350 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to missing authorization in the bulk_user_assignment.php which can lead to privilege escalation to Administrative Group. Any authenticated user with access to the bulk user assignment dashboard page can add any user email to any group and can remove legitimate admins. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 7.5 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Vincent55 for reporting |
| CVE-2026-8140 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below does not validate a CSRF token before processing requests to /dashboard/extend/install/download/<remoteId>. The download() method in concrete/controllers/single_page/dashboard/extend/install.php checks only the canInstallPackages() permission before fetching a remote marketplace package and writing it to the server's DIR_PACKAGES directory. Because the endpoint is a state-changing GET route with no token enforcement, an attacker who can cause an authenticated adminis |

| CVE-2026-8203 | HIGH | 7.3 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below has Stored XSS on the height parameter. The controller does not validate or sanitize $height. Any user with editor privileges can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the context of any visitor's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or other malicious actions. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 7.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Alfin |
| CVE-2026-8197 | HIGH | 7.3 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to Stored XSS via OAuth integration name. The OAuth authorize template renders the integration name (admin-controlled) through Concrete's t() translation helper as a sprintf-style format. The <strong>...</strong> wrap is built by PHP string interpolation before t() runs, so the integration name lands in the translated output as raw HTML. A rogue admin could potentially snoop on login submissions.The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a C |
| CVE-2026-6826 | MEDIUM | 6.9 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to unauthenticated file usage disclosure via missing permission check in the usage controller. Any unauthenticated visitor can request /ccm/system/dialogs/file/usage/{fID} with any file ID and receive a list of every page that references that file, including page IDs, handles, and full URLs. This includes pages that are otherwise restricted by permissions.The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 6.9 with vector CVSS |
| CVE-2026-30662 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Mar 24, 2026 | ConcreteCMS v9.4.7 contains a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the File Manager component. The 'download' method in 'concrete/controllers/backend/file.php' improperly manages memory when creating zip archives. It uses 'ZipArchive::addFromString' combined with 'file_get_contents', which loads the entire content of every selected file into PHP memory. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by requesting a bulk download of large files, triggering an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) condition that ca |
| CVE-2022-43686 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Nov 14, 2022 | In Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) below 8.5.10 and between 9.0.0 and 9.1.2, the authTypeConcreteCookieMap table can be filled up causing a denial of service (high load). |
| CVE-2026-8337 | MEDIUM | 6.3 | May 21, 2026 | Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR in surveys. To be vulnerable, a site would have to be configured in such a way that both public and private surveys are present on the site. An unauthenticated attacker can vote in the restricted survey by submitting the restricted optionID through the public survey’s endpoint. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 6.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Zer0 |
