GetSimple CMS is a content management system (CMS), and GetSimple CMS CE is the community edition of that CMS. A logic flaw in GetSimple CMS (v3.4.0a and below) and GetSimpleCMS-CE (v3.3.22 and below) allows unauthenticated attackers to create a new administrator account. The application features an automated security control designed to delete the sensitive admin/setup.php file post-installation. However, this control is neutralized by a self-exclusion bug within the deletion logic, leaving the setup script accessible for unauthorized account creation even after a legitimate installation is completed. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.
GetSimple CMS is a content management system. All versions of GetSimple CMS rely on .htaccess files to restrict access to sensitive directories such as /data/ and /backups/. If Apache AllowOverride is disabled (common in hardened or shared hosting environments), these protections are silently ignored, allowing unauthenticated attackers to list and download sensitive files including authorization.xml, which contains cryptographic salts and API keys. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.
GetSimple CMS is a content management system. All versions of GetSimple CMS are vulnerable to XSS through SVG file uploads. Authenticated users can upload SVG files via the administrative upload functionality, but they are not properly sanitized or restricted, allowing an attacker to embed malicious JavaScript. When the uploaded SVG file is accessed, the script executes in the browser. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.
GetSimple CMS is a content management system. All versions of GetSimple CMS do not implement CSRF protection on the administrative file upload endpoint. As a result, an attacker can craft a malicious web page that silently triggers a file upload request from an authenticated victim’s browser. The request is accepted without requiring a CSRF token or origin validation. This allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files to the application without the victim’s knowledge or consent. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the victim must be authenticated to GetSimple CMS (e.g., admin user), and visit an attacker-controlled webpage. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.
GetSimple CMS My SMTP Contact Plugin 1.1.2 suffers from a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The plugin attempts to sanitize user input using htmlspecialchars(), but this can be bypassed by passing dangerous characters as escaped hex bytes. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary client-side code that executes in the administrator's browser when visiting a malicious page.
GetSimple CMS is a content management system. In versions starting from 3.3.16 to 3.3.21, an authenticated user with access to the Edit component can inject arbitrary PHP into a component file and execute it via a crafted query string, resulting in Remote Code Execution (RCE). This issue is set to be patched in version 3.3.22.
In the GetSimple CMS CE 3.3.19 management page, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) can be achieved in the plug-in download address in the backend management system.
GetSimple CMS CE 3.3.19 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the backend plugin module.
GetSimple CMS CE 3.3.19 suffers from arbitrary code execution in the template editing function in the background management system, which can be used by an attacker to implement RCE.
