Summary

CVE-2026-28425 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Statamic Statamic. Its CVSS base score is 8.0 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 35th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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.

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

CVE-2026-28425 is a remote code execution vulnerability affecting Statamic, a Laravel and Git-powered content management system. In versions prior to 5.73.16 and 6.7.2, an authenticated control panel user with access to Antlers-enabled inputs can execute arbitrary code within the application context. This stems from CWE-94 (code injection) and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Exploitation requires an authenticated attacker with specific control panel permissions, such as those allowing configuration of Antlers-enabled content fields, editing of entries, or access to built-in features like Forms email notification settings. Third-party addons, such as SEO Pro, that introduce Antlers-enabled fields may also expose the issue if the attacker has relevant permissions. Successful exploitation leads to full application compromise, including access to sensitive configuration, data modification or exfiltration, and potential denial of service impacting availability.

The vulnerability has been addressed in Statamic versions 5.73.16 and 6.7.2. Users relying on addons dependent on Statamic must ensure they are running a patched core version post-update. Official advisories and release notes are available at the Statamic GitHub security advisory (GHSA-cpv7-q2wx-m8rw) and relevant release tags.

Vulnerability Data

Statmatic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Prior to versions 5.73.16 and 6.7.2, an authenticated control panel user with access to Antlers-enabled inputs may be able to achieve remote code execution in the application context. That…

can lead to full compromise of the application, including access to sensitive configuration, modification or exfiltration of data, and potential impact on availability. Exploitation is only possible where Antlers runs on user-controlled content—for example, content fields with Antlers explicitly enabled (requiring permission to configure fields and to edit entries), built-in config that supports Antlers such as Forms email notification settings (requiring configuration permission), or third-party addons that add Antlers-enabled fields to entries (for example, the SEO Pro addon). In each case the attacker must have the relevant control panel permissions. This has been fixed in 5.73.16 and 6.7.2. Users of addons that depend on Statamic should ensure that after updating they are running a patched Statamic version.

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.
