Summary

CVE-2026-5333 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Defaultfuction Content Management System. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 16.2% 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 are NIST 800-53 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

A security flaw has been discovered in DefaultFuction Content-Management-System 1.0 affecting unknown processing of the file /admin/tools.php. Manipulation of the host argument permits command injection, classified under CWE-74 and CWE-77. The issue is remotely exploitable with a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can supply crafted input to the affected parameter and execute operating system commands on the server. Successful exploitation yields limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the target system. Publicly released exploit code increases the feasibility of automated or manual attacks against exposed instances.

The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0105, indicating emerging exploitation interest after disclosure. Reference materials consist of the project repository and Vuldb entries but contain no details on official patches or mitigation steps.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1059.004 Unix Shell Execution
Adversaries may abuse Unix shell commands and scripts for execution.
Why these techniques?

Command injection in a public-facing web application (/admin/tools.php) enables T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) for initial access. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary OS command execution, directly facilitating T1059.004 (Unix Shell) on the server.
