CVE-2026-7435
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 · uneditedSSCMS v7.4.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the stl:sqlContent tag where the queryString attribute is passed directly to database execution without parameterization or sanitization. Attackers can craft encrypted payloads submitted to the /api/stl/actions/dynamic endpoint to execute arbitrary SQL statements, leading to unauthorized database access, data disclosure, authentication bypass, data modification, or complete database compromise.
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.

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.
-
Identify SSCMS installation and versionCheck the site's about page, administration panel, or examine DLLAssembly versions in the bin directory. Look for files like SiteServer.Core.dll or check the version.json/config file in the installation root.Affected if The installed version is SSCMS v7.4.0 exactly, or falls within the v7.4.0 range.
-
Locate stl:sqlContent tag usageSearch site templates, pages, and content files for instances of '<stl:sqlContent' or 'stl:sqlContent'. Examine any queryString attribute values to see if they contain dynamic user input or are built from concatenation.Affected if The stl:sqlContent tag is in use with a queryString attribute that accepts unsanitized input.
-
Verify /api/stl/actions/dynamic endpoint existsAttempt a GET or POST request to /api/stl/actions/dynamic on the target site. Check if the endpoint responds (even with an error) indicating it is accessible.Affected if The endpoint returns any HTTP response (other than 404), confirming the endpoint is enabled.
-
Review access logs for endpoint activityExamine web server (IIS, Nginx) access logs and SSCMS application logs for POST requests to /api/stl/actions/dynamic, particularly those with unusual or encrypted request bodies.Affected if There are requests to /api/stl/actions/dynamic originating from unexpected IP addresses or at unusual times.
-
Audit database for unauthorized changesQuery the database for recent changes to admin accounts, new users, or modified permissions. Look for unexpected stored procedures, views, or tables created around the time of potential exploitation.Affected if Unexpected admin accounts exist, permissions were modified, or unfamiliar database objects were created.
You are affected if SSCMS v7.4.0 is running, the stl:sqlContent tag with queryString is in use, and the /api/stl/actions/dynamic endpoint is accessible.

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 dataParameterize all SQL queries in the stl:sqlContent tag's queryString attribute and implement proper input validation. If possible, restrict or disable the /api/stl/actions/dynamic endpoint until a patched version is available.
