CSRF
AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

Emlog is an open source website building system. In 2.6.26 and earlier, missing CSRF protection on the AI Assistant executetool action in admin/ai.php lets a remote unauthenticated attacker submit a forged cross-site request from an attacker-controlled page to a recently logged-in administrator. The authentication cookie set in include/lib/loginauth.php has no explicit SameSite attribute, enabling Chrome's temporary Lax+POST grace window. The querydatabase case passes attacker-controlled sql and confirmcode values to Ai::queryDatabase in include/service/ai.php; read queries need no confirmation, write queries accept the public confirm string, only the blog table is write-protected, and aliasing password as pwdhash bypasses output redaction. A successful request can read every database table and write every table except blog, including changing the user table to take over an administrator account. No fixed version is available as of this review.

XSS
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Emlog CMS <= 2.6.14 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the article publishing module (/admin/article.php). A remote authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code via the article content. When an administrator reviews or previews the submitted article in the backend, the malicious script executes in the admin's browser session, allowing the attacker to perform administrative actions such as creating a backdoor administrator account.

Emlog is an open source website building system. In 2.6.13 and earlier, the admin backend user search module's keyword parameter from admin/user.php is processed with addslashes but not HTML-escaped before being rendered into the value attribute in admin/views/user.php, allowing reflected cross-site scripting in an administrator's backend session. No fixed version is currently identified.

Path Traversal
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The template upload feature in Emlog Pro v2.6.9 has a path traversal vulnerability, allowing authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code. By uploading a malicious ZIP archive containing directory traversal sequences in filenames, an attacker can overwrite default template files or directly include malicious code files in the current template.

Emlog is an open source website building system. Prior to version 2.6.11, direct SQL injection in article creation and update functions allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to complete database compromise, data theft, or system destruction. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.11.

Emlog is an open source website building system. Prior to version 2.6.11, missing CSRF protection in critical admin functions allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unauthorized actions like system registration, plugin management, and configuration changes.

SQL Injection
AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.6.2 and prior, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in include/model/tagmodel.php at line 168. The updateTagName() function directly interpolates user input into the SQL query string without using parameterized queries or proper escaping ($this->db->escapestring()), making it vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

CSRF
AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.6.2 and prior, a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in admin/plugin.php at line 80. The $plugin parameter from the GET request is directly used in a requireonce path without proper sanitization. If the CSRF token check can be bypassed (see potential bypass conditions), an attacker can include arbitrary PHP files from the server filesystem, leading to code execution. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Path Traversal
AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.6.2 and prior, a path traversal vulnerability exists in the emUnZip() function (include/lib/common.php:793). When extracting ZIP archives (plugin/template uploads, backup imports), the function calls $zip->extractTo($path) without sanitizing ZIP entry names. An authenticated admin can upload a crafted ZIP containing entries with ../ sequences to write arbitrary files to the server filesystem, including PHP webshells, achieving Remote Code Execution (RCE). At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Emlog is an open source website building system. Prior to version 2.6.8, the backend upgrade interface accepts remote SQL and ZIP URLs via GET parameters. The server first downloads and executes the SQL file, then downloads the ZIP file and extracts it directly into the web root directory. This process does not validate a CSRF token. Therefore, an attacker only needs to trick an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious link to achieve arbitrary SQL execution and arbitrary file write. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.8.

Emlog is an open source website building system. emlog v2.6.1 and earlier exposes a REST API endpoint (/index.php?rest-api=upload) for media file uploads. The endpoint fails to implement proper validation of file types, extensions, and content, allowing authenticated attackers (with a valid API key or admin session cookie) to upload arbitrary files (including malicious PHP scripts) to the server. An attacker can obtain the API key either by gaining administrator access to enable the REST API setting, or via information disclosure vulnerabilities in the application. Once uploaded, the malicious PHP file can be executed to gain remote code execution (RCE) on the target server, leading to full server compromise.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N

Emlog is an open source website building system. Versions up to and including 2.5.19 are vulnerable to server-side Out-of-Band (OOB) requests / SSRF via uploaded SVG files. An attacker can upload a crafted SVG to http[:]//emblog/admin/media[.]php which contains external resource references. When the server processes/renders the SVG (thumbnailing, preview, or sanitization), it issues an HTTP request to the attacker-controlled host. Impact: server-side SSRF/OOB leading to internal network probing and potential metadata/credential exposure. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.

Emlog is an open source website building system. In version 2.5.23, article creation functionality is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Rejected reason: REJECT DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: The file upload in include/service/media.php verifies the file extension based on a list defined in include/lib/option.php. This whitelist prevents unrestricted uploads (e.g. PHP files). Therefore, the attack possibility is just of theoretical nature.
