Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Masa CMS up to 7.2.9/7.3.14/7.4.9/7.5.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function cTrash.restore. The manipulation of the argument parentid with an unknown input leads to a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-352. The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. As an impact it is known to affect integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Masa CMS is a content management system forked from Mura CMS. In versions 7.5.2 and earlier, the `cTrash.restore` function does not properly validate anti-CSRF tokens for content restoration requests. An attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to submit a forged request that restores deleted items from the trash and places them at an attacker-controlled location in the site structure through the parentid parameter. This can restore previously deleted malicious or outdated content, expose sensitive documents by moving them into publicly accessible locations, and disrupt site structure or content integrity. This issue has been fixed in versions 7.2.10, 7.3.15, 7.4.10, and 7.5.3. As a workaround, restrict access to the administrative backend, use browser isolation for administrative sessions, and regularly empty the trash to reduce the amount of content available for unauthorized restoration.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-40325 since 04/10/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

Upgrading to version 7.2.10, 7.3.15, 7.4.10 or 7.5.3 eliminates this vulnerability.
