Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2024-44916 is a high-severity issue reported in Seacms v13.1. An authenticated, highly privileged attacker could manipulate IP settings so they are written into a PHP file, creating a path to arbitrary command execution. The public source bundle does not identify a vendor patch or active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority remediation item for any internet-reachable Seacms v13.1 administration panel. The business risk is server compromise, but the attacker likely needs high privileges first.
Technical view
The issue is in admin_ip.php when action=set. Attacker-controlled IP parameters are written to data/admin/ip.php and may lead to arbitrary command execution. CVSS is 7.2 with network access, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. CWE-77 is assigned.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to Seacms v13.1 administrative surfaces. Risk is highest where admin_ip.php is reachable over the network and privileged admin credentials are compromised, shared, or weakly controlled. The structured affected-product metadata is incomplete.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the source bundle, and no cited source here proves active exploitation. The required privilege level is high, so this is most relevant after admin compromise or insider misuse.
Researcher notes
Source evidence gives the vulnerable file, action path, sink file, CWE, and CVSS vector, but not a confirmed patch, full affected-version range, or exploitation telemetry. Avoid assuming more than Seacms v13.1 from the provided data.
Mitigation direction
- Check Seacms vendor guidance for an official fixed version or advisory.
- Restrict access to Seacms admin interfaces to trusted networks or VPN users.
- Review and reduce privileged Seacms administrator accounts.
- Monitor data/admin/ip.php for unexpected changes.
- Back up the application before applying vendor updates.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Seacms deployments and identify any v13.1 instances.
- Confirm whether admin_ip.php is present and reachable.
- Review logs for unusual access to admin_ip.php.
- Check data/admin/ip.php modification history for unexpected writes.
- Verify whether vendor guidance or a patched release is available.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
