CVE-2017-8912 describes a critical vulnerability in CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) version 2.1.6, allowing remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.2) requires high privileges but has low attack complexity, enabling full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not actively exploited in the wild and not on the KEV catalog, public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, and the vendor controversially considers this a feature rather than a bug.
