Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An issue was discovered in NoneCms V1.3. thinkphp/library/think/App.php allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via crafted use of the filter parameter, as demonstrated by the s=index/\think\Request/input&filter=phpinfo&data=1 query string.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

NoneCms V1.3 contains a critical remote code execution vulnerability in thinkphp/library/think/App.php where the filter parameter in the query string is not properly validated, allowing attackers to pass arbitrary PHP functions (such as phpinfo()) which get executed on the server, leading to full system compromise.

MitigationUpgrade NoneCms to a patched version, or implement input validation to whitelist only allowed filter functions and restrict the filter parameter from user-controlled input.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify NoneCms version
    Locate the version file or header in the NoneCms installation, typically found in a version.php, config file, or the main index file
    Affected if The installed version is NoneCms 1.3.0
  2. Check ThinkPHP library version
    Examine the ThinkPHP library bundled with NoneCms, located in thinkphp/library/think/ and check the ThinkPHP core version file
    Affected if The ThinkPHP library version corresponds to the vulnerable ThinkPHP releases that allow filter parameter injection
  3. Verify vulnerable parameter routing is active
    Test if the application processes the pattern s=index/think_Request/input&filter=... by sending a harmless test request to the affected endpoint
    Affected if The application accepts and processes the filter parameter without proper sanitization, allowing code execution
  4. Inspect App.php filter handling
    Review thinkphp/library/think/App.php for the input() or filter handling logic that processes user-supplied filter parameters
    Affected if The code directly passes the filter parameter from user input to PHP functions without validation

You are affected if running NoneCms 1.3.0 with a ThinkPHP version that allows direct injection through the filter parameter in the Request/input method.
