Modx

First CVE: Oct 7, 2011Active for: 15 yearsTotal CVEs: 44
34.2
VTI Score
Medium

Modx is a content management system and framework vendor with a focused product portfolio centered on Modx Revolution and related derivatives, positioning it as a niche but prominent platform in the CMS landscape. Vulnerabilities affecting the vendor span a meaningful share of serious outcomes and frequently acquire public exploit code, concentrating in application-layer input-handling and access-control weaknesses endemic to web-facing content platforms: cross-site scripting, path traversal, SQL injection, unrestricted file uploads, and code injection all recur across its product line. These weakness classes reflect the parsing, templating, and plugin extensibility demands of CMS architecture, where user-controlled input flows through multiple processing layers and file-upload mechanisms carry intrinsic risk. Defenders should treat Modx instance discovery and patching as a content-layer priority, particularly for internet-exposed administrative interfaces and plugin ecosystems; current exploitation activity and severity counts are shown alongside this summary.
