CVE-2016-7791: Exponent CMS 2.3.9 suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability in /install/index.php.

Exponent CMS 2.3.9 suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability in /install/index.php. An attacker can upload an evil 'exploit.tar.gz' file to the website, then extract it by visiting '/install/index.php?install_sample=../../files/exploit', which leads to arbitrary code execution.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Exponent CMS 2.3.9 has a reported remote code execution issue in its installer. If the installer remains reachable, an attacker may be able to make the site unpack attacker-controlled content and run code. Treat internet-facing instances as urgent until exposure is disproven. Exposure is most likely where Exponent CMS 2.3.9 is deployed and installer code remains publicly reachable. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, supported versions, authentication requirements, or vendor-fixed versions. Prioritize any internet-facing Exponent CMS 2.3.9 instance. Remote code execution against a CMS can lead to website takeover, data theft, malware hosting, and broader infrastructure access. Urgency depends on whether installer code is reachable. Mitigation focus: Inventory public sites for Exponent CMS 2.3.9.; Check Exponent CMS vendor guidance for fixed versions or official remediation.; Restrict public access to installer paths after confirming operational impact..
