CVE-2026-13529
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was determined in YzmCMS up to 7.5. This affects an unknown function of the file /application/install/index.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument siteurl can lead to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. A high complexity level is associated with this attack. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 · moderate confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in YzmCMS up to version 7.5 in the /application/install/index.php file via manipulation of the 'siteurl' parameter. The attack can be exploited remotely but requires high complexity and difficult exploitability conditions.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm YzmCMS is installedLook for YzmCMS installation by checking for the presence of typical YzmCMS directory structure, such as /application/, /statics/, or /uploads/ directories in the web root. Also check for YzmCMS-specific files like index.php in the root that references 'YzmCMS'.Affected if The web application is running YzmCMS and the /application/ directory structure is present.
-
Check YzmCMS version numberLocate the version indicator in the YzmCMS installation. Check common locations such as a version.php file in the /application/ or /core/ directory, or look for a VERSION or version constant defined in core framework files. Compare the installed version to the affected range: version 7.5 and below are vulnerable.Affected if The installed YzmCMS version is 7.5 or lower.
-
Verify the vulnerable file existsCheck if the file /application/install/index.php exists in the web root. This is the file containing the SQL injection vulnerability in the 'siteurl' parameter.Affected if The file /application/install/index.php exists on the server.
-
Check if installation has been completedLook for an install lock file that YzmCMS typically creates after installation completes, commonly named install.lock or similar, usually in the /application/install/ or /data/ directory. If the lock file exists, the install process has already run.Affected if The install lock file does NOT exist, meaning the installation may be re-runnable and the vulnerable code is accessible.
-
Assess web access to install directoryDetermine if the /application/install/ directory is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS requests from the web. Attempt to access the URL or check web server configuration for any rewrite rules or access controls that explicitly allow or block this path.Affected if The /application/install/ directory is accessible over the web and not blocked by web server configuration.
A user is affected if YzmCMS version 7.5 or lower is installed, the /application/install/index.php file exists, and the install directory is web-accessible without being locked after installation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict web access to /application/install/ in production environments (via web server configuration or removal of install files), and upgrade to a patched version of YzmCMS when available.
