Multiple Bludit CMS Flaws Enable RCE, XSS, and Session Hijacking
CERT Polska disclosed four vulnerabilities in the Bludit content management system, including an unrestricted file upload flaw tracked as CVE-2026-25099 that can lead to remote code execution, a stored XSS issue in image upload handling (CVE-2026-25100), a session fixation weakness that can enable session hijacking (CVE-2026-25101), and a separate stored XSS flaw in page creation tracked as CVE-2026-4420. The vulnerabilities were reported by researchers Arkadiusz Marta and Yassin Abdelrazek and affect multiple Bludit versions, with CVE-2026-25099 impacting all releases before 3.18.4, CVE-2026-25101 affecting versions before 3.17.2, CVE-2026-25100 affecting all versions through 3.18.2, and CVE-2026-4420 confirmed in 3.17.2 and 3.18.0.
The XSS flaws can be exploited by authenticated users with content or page creation privileges by injecting malicious JavaScript into uploaded SVG content or article tags, with payloads executing when victims access publicly reachable resources without authentication. CERT Polska said the page-creation XSS could be used to automatically create a new site administrator if the victim has sufficient privileges, while the file upload issue could allow direct server-side compromise through remote code execution. The agency also said vendor coordination was incomplete, noting the vendor stopped responding or did not provide details on remediation and affected version ranges, raising uncertainty over whether some future releases may remain vulnerable.
