Total alchemy-cms CVEs: 2
Earliest CVE date: 16 Oct 2018, 22:29 UTC
Latest CVE date: 19 Jan 2026, 22:16 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2026-23885
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 1
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 2.15
Max CVSS: 4.3
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for alchemy-cms, sorted by severity first and recency.
Alchemy is an open source content management system engine written in Ruby on Rails. Prior to versions 7.4.12 and 8.0.3, the application uses the Ruby `eval()` function to dynamically execute a string provided by the `resource_handler.engine_name` attribute in `Alchemy::ResourcesHelper#resource_url_proxy`. The vulnerability exists in `app/helpers/alchemy/resources_helper.rb` at line 28. The code explicitly bypasses security linting with `# rubocop:disable Security/Eval`, indicating that the use of a dangerous function was known but not properly mitigated. Since `engine_name` is sourced from module definitions that can be influenced by administrative configurations, it allows an authenticated attacker to escape the Ruby sandbox and execute arbitrary system commands on the host OS. Versions 7.4.12 and 8.0.3 fix the issue by replacing `eval()` with `send()`.
A Stored XSS vulnerability has been discovered in version 4.1.0 of AlchemyCMS via the /admin/pictures image field. NOTE: the vendor's position is that this is not a valid report: "The researcher used an authorized cookie to perform the request to a password-protected route. Without that session cookie, the request would have been rejected as unauthorized."
