CVE-2026-41587: CI4MS has Unrestricted PHP File Upload via Theme Installation that Leads to Authenticated Remote Code Execution

April 29, 2026 (updated May 8, 2026)

A theme upload feature allows any authenticated backend user with theme-upload permission to achieve remote code execution (RCE) by uploading a crafted ZIP file. PHP files inside the ZIP are installed into the web-accessible public/ directory with no extension or content filtering, making them directly executable via HTTP.
