## What is CVE-2026-61523?

CVE-2026-61523 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in WebsiteBaker CMS, published on 3 Aug 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

WebsiteBaker CMS before 2.13.10 contains a code injection vulnerability in the Droplets editor that allows authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary PHP code by submitting malicious content through the droplet Code field, which is written verbatim to a publicly accessible PHP file with no content sanitization. Attackers can save a PHP webshell via the save_droplet handler to a predictable path inside the modules directory, enabling unauthenticated users to achieve remote code execution by making direct HTTP requests to the written file.

Weakness: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code)
