Summary

CVE-2025-48492 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Getsimple-Ce Getsimple Cms. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 45% 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.

GetSimple CMS versions 3.3.16 through 3.3.21 contain a command-injection flaw (CWE-77) that permits an authenticated user with Edit-component access to write arbitrary PHP code into a component file. The injected code can then be executed by supplying a crafted query string, yielding remote code execution with full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker who already possesses a valid account with Edit rights can therefore upload and trigger malicious PHP payloads without further user interaction, resulting in complete compromise of the affected CMS instance.

The public GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-g435-p72m-p582 states that the issue will be corrected in the forthcoming 3.3.22 release.

EPSS remains low and unchanged at 0.0280, indicating no observable increase in exploitation interest after disclosure.
