Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-32641 is a remote code execution vulnerability affecting Masa CMS, an open source Enterprise Content Management platform. Versions prior to 7.2.8, 7.3.13, and 7.4.6 are vulnerable due to improper handling of user input in the addParam function. Specifically, the criteria parameter accepts unsanitized input that is passed to setDynamicContent for evaluation, enabling arbitrary code execution through the m tag. The issue is classified under CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required. By crafting a malicious criteria parameter, the attacker triggers code evaluation in setDynamicContent, achieving full remote code execution on the server. This grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, potentially allowing full system compromise.
The vulnerability is patched in Masa CMS versions 7.2.8, 7.3.13, and 7.4.6. Security practitioners should upgrade to these versions immediately. Additional details are available in the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/MasaCMS/MasaCMS/security/advisories/GHSA-cj9g-v5mq-qrjm and the patching commit at https://github.com/MasaCMS/MasaCMS/commit/fb27f822fe426496af71205fa35208e58823fcf6.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
