Silverstripe UserForms provides a visual form builder for the Silverstripe CMS. From 6.0.0 until 6.4.9, 7.0.7, and 7.1.1, the userform email recipient subject field in the CMS accepts a specially crafted payload that can be interpreted as executable server-side code. An authenticated CMS user with permission to configure a UserForms email recipient can use the subject field to run arbitrary code on the server, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.9, 7.0.7, and 7.1.1.
CVE-2026-54721
This high-severity CVE scores 8.8 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4%, top 64% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
