CVE-2026-34564
CRITICALCVE-2026-34564 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-34564 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
CI4MS: Menu Management (Pages) Full Account Takeover for All-Roles & Privilege-Escalation via Stored DOM XSS
Real-World Exposure
ci4-cms-erp/ci4msReal-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 when adding Pages to navigation menus through the Menu Management functionality. Page-related data selected via the Pages section is stored server-side and rendered without proper output encoding. This stored payload is later rendered unsafely within administrative interfaces and public-facing navigation menus, leading to stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS). This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
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-2026-34564 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-34564 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-34564. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
