Summary

CVE-2024-32641 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Masacms Masacms. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

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.

Vulnerability Data

Masa CMS is an open source Enterprise Content Management platform. Masa CMS versions prior to 7.2.8, 7.3.13, and 7.4.6 are vulnerable to remote code execution. The vulnerability exists in the addParam function, which accepts user input via the criteria parameter.…

more

This input is subsequently evaluated by setDynamicContent, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code via the m tag. The vulnerability is patched in versions 7.2.8, 7.3.13, and 7.4.6.

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

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.

prevents

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.

none

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.
