Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-3244?

CVE-2026-3244 affects the following packages: concrete5/concrete5 (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix CVE-2026-3244?

Update concrete5/concrete5 to 9.4.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-3244 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-3244 in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for concrete5/concrete5, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-3244 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is CVE-2026-3244 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-3244 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-3244?

CVE-2026-3244 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 14th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-3244?

Description

In Concrete CMS below version 9.4.8, A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the search block where page names and content are rendered without proper HTML encoding in search results. This allows authenticated, rogue administrators to inject malicious JavaScript through page names that executes when users search for and view those pages in search results. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 4.8 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks zolpak for reporting
