CVE-2026-18110 – Unauthenticated User Enumeration – Concrete CMS 9.0.0 through 9.5.2

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-18110 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in Concrete CMS affecting the user selector autocomplete endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can query the endpoint to enumerate every backend user account, exposing internal user IDs, usernames, and email addresses of administrators. The issue carries a CVSS score of 8.7 (High) and requires no authentication or user interaction to exploit.

Technical details

  • Root cause: The /ccm/system/user/autocomplete endpoint, used to power the "Preview as User" panel and other user-selector components in the Concrete CMS dashboard, does not perform an authorization check before returning results.
  • Trigger conditions: An attacker submits an empty search query to the endpoint and paginates through the returned results; the CSRF token used by the endpoint is bound to display options rather than user identity, so it does not prevent this abuse.
  • Attack vector: Network — the endpoint can be reached directly over HTTP/HTTPS with no prior authentication.
  • Impact: Full enumeration of backend/administrative accounts, disclosing internal user IDs, usernames, and email addresses. No password hashes or session data are exposed, but the leaked account information can be used to facilitate targeted phishing, credential stuffing, or brute-force attacks against identified administrator accounts.

Affected software

  • Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0 through 9.5.2

Severity

  • CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 8.7 (High)
  • Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.3 or later, which addresses this issue as part of a broader security release.
  • If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict or monitor access to /ccm/system/user/autocomplete at the network or web-server layer (e.g., via WAF rules or reverse-proxy access controls) to limit exposure to authenticated dashboard sessions, and monitor logs for repeated/paginated unauthenticated requests to this endpoint as a possible indicator of enumeration attempts.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
