CodeIgniter 4 CMS Skeleton Exposes Users to Malicious Scripts
CVE-2026-34557
GHSA-rpjr-985c-qhvm
Summary
A security issue in older versions of CI4MS allows attackers to inject malicious code into the system, which can be executed by administrators. This could allow hackers to take control of the system or steal sensitive data. Update to version 0.31.0.0 or later to fix this issue.
What to do
- Update ci4-cms-erp ci4ms to version 0.31.0.0.
Affected software
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fix available |
|---|---|---|---|
| ci4-cms-erp | ci4ms | <= 0.28.6.0 | 0.31.0.0 |
Original title
CI4MS: Permissions Management Full Account Takeover for All-Roles & Privilege-Escalation via Stored DOM XSS
Original description
## Summary
### **Vulnerability: Stored DOM XSS via Group / Role Management Fields (Administrative Context Execution)**
- Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Unsanitized Group / Role Management Inputs
### Description
The application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input within group and role management functionality. Multiple input fields (three distinct group-related fields) can be injected with malicious JavaScript payloads, which are then stored server-side.
These stored payloads are later rendered unsafely within privileged administrative views without proper output encoding, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) within the role and permission management context.
### Affected Functionality
- Group creation and editing functionality
- Role and permission assignment interfaces
- Storage and retrieval of group-related data
### Attack Scenario
- An attacker injects a malicious XSS payload into one or more group-related input fields.
- The application stores these values without sanitization or encoding.
- An administrator views the group or role management interface.
- The payload executes automatically in the administrator’s browser.
### Impact
- Persistent Stored XSS
- Execution of arbitrary JavaScript in victims’ browsers
- Privilege escalation when viewed by administrators
- Full administrator account takeover
- Full compromise of the entire application
Endpoints:
- `/backend/users/groupList/`
## Steps To Reproduce (POC)
1. Navigate to the Group / Role Management page
2. Insert an XSS payload into any of the three group-related input fields such as:
`<img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>`
3. Save the group or role changes
4. View the group/role management page as an administrator
5. Observe the XSS payload executing automatically
## Remediation
- Never use .html() again or any innerHTML-style like JS in your PHP, or any other sink, even if user inputs that flow into them are not clear, they still represent real world danger as an attacker can make use of this to exploit the application via XSS. And do HTML Encoding as much as possible and always do Sanitization, theres no sanitization there unfortunately. Also apply CSP, HttpOnly, SameSite, and Secure upon all application, they reduce severity of XSS & escalated-CSRF via XSS and do great jobs
