Deeper analysis

Atom.CMS version 2.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the Atom.CMS_admin_uploads.php component, tracked as CVE-2022-28033 and assigned CWE-89. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no requirements for authentication or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input to the affected uploads script to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full read, write, and delete access to database contents, enabling data exfiltration, modification, or service disruption.

The associated GitHub issue references do not describe patches or configuration workarounds. The EPSS score stands at 0.5838 with an identical recorded peak, indicating sustained but not newly increasing exploitation interest since disclosure.
