Edito CMS: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an Expression Language Statement

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-59075 is a high-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in an expression language statement vulnerability in Edito CMS from Edito, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.10.2607 as the first without the flaw, so updating Edito CMS to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Edito CMS is vulnerable to Dynamic LINQ injection. Due to improper input validation, an authenticated attacker can inject conditional expressions into the sort parameter of paginated administrative endpoints. Analyzing the returned result order allows the attacker to extract value of any field character by character, leading to potential exposure of sensitive data. This issue was fixed in version 5.10.2607. Hotfixes for older versions (5.8) have also been released.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an Expression Language Statement

The product constructs all or part of an expression language (EL) statement in a framework such as a Java Server Page (JSP) using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended EL statement before it is executed.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Avoid adding user-controlled data into an expression interpreter when possible.
  • If user-controlled data must be added to an expression interpreter, one or more of the following should be performed: Validate that the user input will not evaluate as an expression Encode the user input in a way that ensures it is not evaluated as an expression
  • The framework or tooling might allow the developer to disable or deactivate the processing of EL expressions, such as setting the isELIgnored attribute for a JSP page to true.
