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

CVE-2026-30460 is an authenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Daylight Studio FuelCMS version 1.5.2, specifically within the Blocks module. Published on 2026-04-07, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is associated with CWE-94 (code injection), alongside NVD-CWE-noinfo.

An attacker with low-privilege authenticated access can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution on the server, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Advisories and related resources, including those from Pentest-Tools (PTT-2025-027 on improper authorization), the FuelCMS GitHub repository, and official sites at daylight.com and fuelcms.com, provide further details but no specific patch information is detailed in the CVE record. Security practitioners should review these references for mitigation guidance.

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.
