Deeper analysis
AtomCMS version 2.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the administrative login component at /admin/login.php. The flaw is tracked as CWE-89 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible, unauthenticated attack complexity that can result in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input to the login endpoint and execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database. Successful exploitation grants the ability to read, modify, or delete stored data and potentially obtain administrative control of the CMS instance.
The associated EPSS score remained low for years after the February 2022 disclosure before rising sharply to a peak of 0.9472 on 22 January 2025 and later receding to its current value of 0.2097, indicating renewed exploitation interest well after initial publication. Public references consist of a proof-of-concept listing on Packet Storm and an open issue on the AtomCMS GitHub repository; no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the available sources.
