Summary

CVE-2025-44071 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Seacms Seacms. 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 42% 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.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

SeaCMS version 13.3 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the phomebak.php component. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2025-44071, carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8, and is classified under CWE-94 (improper control of generation of code). A crafted request is sufficient to trigger arbitrary code execution on the affected installation.

Unauthenticated attackers with network access can send a malicious request to the vulnerable endpoint and obtain arbitrary command execution. Successful exploitation grants full control over the application, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and potentially pivot to other systems.

The single public reference is a GitHub repository containing technical details of the issue; no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the available sources. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0390 with no material increase since disclosure.

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.
