The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-32276, allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the server. This affects Connect-CMS versions 1.x prior to 1.41.1 and 2.x prior to 2.41.1. The vulnerability was reported by Sho Odagiri of GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, Inc. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized code execution on the server or sensitive information disclosure. Organizations using affected versions of Connect-CMS are urged to update to versions 1.41.1 or 2.41.1 to mitigate the risk.
