Analysis
by VulDB Data Team • 06/02/2026
This vulnerability exists within EyouCms version 1.6.2 and earlier, specifically targeting the HTTP POST request handler functionality. The flaw is located in the file yxcms/index.php within the admin/extendfield/mesedit endpoint where the web_ico parameter is processed without adequate input validation or output sanitization. The vulnerability manifests as a cross-site scripting issue that allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. This represents a critical security weakness in the content management system's handling of user-supplied data through HTTP POST requests.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of the web_ico parameter which is processed through the tabid=12&id=4 endpoint. When an attacker crafts a malicious HTTP POST request containing specially crafted input in the web_ico field, the application fails to properly sanitize this data before rendering it in the web interface. This allows attackers to inject JavaScript code or other malicious payloads that execute in the context of other users' browsers. The vulnerability is classified as a classic reflected cross-site scripting issue under CWE-79, which occurs when user input is directly included in web responses without proper encoding or validation.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is significant as it enables remote code execution capabilities and potential data theft. Attackers can leverage this flaw to hijack user sessions, steal sensitive information, or redirect users to malicious websites. The public disclosure of the exploit (VDB-225943) increases the risk level substantially as threat actors can readily implement the attack without requiring advanced technical skills. This vulnerability affects the entire user base of affected EyouCms installations, making it a widespread concern for organizations relying on this content management system. The attack vector requires only a remote HTTP POST request, making it easily exploitable from any network location.
Mitigation strategies should focus on immediate patching of the EyouCms application to version 1.6.3 or later where this vulnerability has been addressed. Organizations should implement input validation and output encoding mechanisms to prevent XSS attacks, specifically ensuring that all user-supplied data including the web_ico parameter is properly sanitized before processing. The implementation of Content Security Policy headers and proper HTTP request handling can provide additional defense layers. Security monitoring should be enhanced to detect suspicious POST requests targeting the affected endpoint, and regular security audits should be conducted to identify similar vulnerabilities in other components. This vulnerability aligns with ATT&CK technique T1566.001 for credential access through phishing and T1059.007 for script injection attacks, emphasizing the need for comprehensive security controls.
