Deeper analysis
CVE-2020-37076 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Victor CMS version 1.0, specifically affecting the 'post' parameter in the post.php component. This flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting malicious input, as detailed in the CVE description published on 2026-02-03.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with low integrity impact and no availability impact. Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction and can exploit it by sending crafted UNION SELECT payloads via boolean-based, error-based, or time-based injection techniques to extract sensitive database information.
