CVE-2026-30662: ConcreteCMS is vulnerable to Denial of Service During Bulk Downloads
(updated )
ConcreteCMS v9.4.7 contains a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the File Manager component. The ‘download’ method in ‘concrete/controllers/backend/file.php’ improperly manages memory when creating zip archives. It uses ‘ZipArchive::addFromString’ combined with ‘file_get_contents’, which loads the entire content of every selected file into PHP memory. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by requesting a bulk download of large files, triggering an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) condition that causes the PHP-FPM process to terminate (SIGSEGV) and the web server to return a 500 error.
