CVE-2022-43030
Published: 14 November 2022
Summary
CVE-2022-43030 is a high-severity Weak Password Requirements (CWE-521) vulnerability in Siyucms Siyucms. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 14.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
Siyucms version 6.1.7 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in its administrative background interface. The affected software is SIYUCMS, a content management system built on ThinkPHP5 and AdminLTE, where the flaw permits execution of arbitrary commands through the management console.
An attacker who obtains valid administrative credentials can reach the vulnerable background functions over the network and run operating-system commands, resulting in full server compromise and privilege escalation. The CVSS 7.2 rating reflects that high privileges are required but that no user interaction is needed once access is obtained.
Public references consist of GitHub repositories that document the issue; no vendor advisory or official patch information is provided in the available sources. The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0504 in January 2025 before receding to its current value of 0.0236, indicating a measurable increase in observed exploitation interest after disclosure.
