Deeper analysis

Camaleon CMS version 2.7.5 is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-48652 and CWE-79. The flaw resides in the content group name field and permits a remote attacker to supply crafted input that results in arbitrary code execution when the field is rendered.

Exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction, as reflected in the CVSS 4.8 score with network attack vector, low complexity, and changed scope. An authenticated administrator can inject malicious scripts via the affected field; when another user views the content, the script executes in that user's browser context, yielding limited confidentiality and integrity impacts.

A public proof-of-concept demonstrating the issue is available in the referenced GitHub repository. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.3484 with no material increase since disclosure.
