CVE-2021-40961

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CMS Made Simple versions 2.2.15 and earlier

Description The issue concerns SQL injection in the modules/News/function.admin articlestab.php file. Specifically, the $sortby variable is concatenated with $query1, allowing for the injection of arbitrary SQL language without using the '.' character.

Recommendations For CMS Made Simple versions 2.2.15 and earlier, consider restricting access to the function.admin articlestab.php file until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the $sortby variable in the affected query until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
