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

CVE-2026-30880 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting baserCMS, an open-source website development framework. The flaw exists in the installer component of versions prior to 5.2.3, allowing arbitrary operating system commands to be executed. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of required privileges or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by targeting the installer interface over the network. Successful exploitation enables full system compromise, with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as executing arbitrary commands, reading sensitive data, modifying files, or disrupting services on the affected host.

The issue has been addressed in baserCMS version 5.2.3, as detailed in the project's release notes and security advisory. Official advisories, including those from baserCMS (JVN_20837860) and GitHub (GHSA-6hpg-8rx3-cwgv), recommend immediate upgrading to the patched version to mitigate the vulnerability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
