Schedule itCritical9.4EPSS 0.37%, higher than 31% of scored CVEs

CVE-2026-100358 is a code injection in SuiteCRM, rated critical (9.4 on CVSS 4.0).

Why this priority: Critical severity, with no exploitation signal yet.

Published · Updated · NVD status: Analyzed

What it is

Input is evaluated as code by the application, so an attacker's code runs inside it.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an administrator account, and nobody has to click anything.

What an attacker gains

A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 31% of scored CVEs.

What to do

  1. Upgrade SuiteCRM to a fixed version for your release line (7.15.2, 8.10.2). The patch notes are linked below.
  2. Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.

Description from NVD

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2, the Studio Dropdown Editor passes $dropdown_name through html_entity_decode() and writes the result verbatim into a PHP language file under custom/ that is included on later page loads. An administrator can inject persistent PHP that executes as the web-server account, survives cache clears, and compromises application and host confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.10.2.

What this means for your architecture.

A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.

Components it touches

  • Application servers and the hosts they run on. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
  • Template engines. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.

Trust boundaries in play

  • Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
  • Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
  • Between untrusted input and code or command execution. An attacker who crosses it can run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.

Questions to answer about your own systems

  • Where does SuiteCRM run in your systems, and at which version?
  • Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
  • What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
