CVSS v3.1
Official Description
CMS Made Simple 1.1.3.1 does not check the permissions assigned to users in some situations, which allows remote authenticated users to perform some administrative actions, as demonstrated by (1) adding a user via a direct request to admin/adduser.php and (2) reading the admin log via an "admin/adminlog.php?page=1" request.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-5441 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
