How severe is CVE-2026-34557?

CVE-2026-34557 has a CVSS score of 9.1/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-34557?

CVE-2026-34557 affects the following packages: ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix CVE-2026-34557?

Update ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms to 0.31.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-34557 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-34557 in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-34557 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-34557?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-34557 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-34557 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-34557 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-2026-34557?

CVE-2026-34557 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 23th 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-2026-34557?

CVE-2026-34557 is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2026-34557 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-34557 was published on March 30, 2026 and was last updated on July 15, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input within group and role management functionality. Multiple input fields (three distinct group-related fields) can be injected with malicious JavaScript payloads, which are then stored server-side. These stored payloads are later rendered unsafely within privileged administrative views without proper output encoding, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) within the role and permission management context. This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.
