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

CVE-2026-30643 is a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) discovered in DedeCMS version 5.7.118, a content management system. The flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying crafted setup tag values during a module upload process. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8, indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network without any prerequisites. By uploading a malicious module with specially crafted setup tags, they can achieve remote code execution on the affected DedeCMS server, potentially leading to full system compromise, data theft, modification, or disruption of services.

Mitigation details and further technical analysis are referenced in advisories such as the GitHub gist at https://gist.github.com/0psPwn/10c43912adee9bfe2ff4fec947d4ee5a and the official DedeCMS website at https://www.dedecms.com/. Security practitioners should consult these sources for patch availability or workarounds specific to DedeCMS 5.7.118.

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.
