Security testing for cms platforms
Indie hackers build custom CMS tools, headless content platforms, and publishing systems with AI coding tools. These vibe-coded CMS apps often ship with content injection vulnerabilities, exposed admin panels, and unrestricted file uploads that let attackers deface your site or gain server access.
Scan your cms platforms for vulnerabilities
Why security matters for cms platforms
CMS Platforms handle sensitive data and business-critical operations. A single vulnerability can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and damaged reputation. VibeEval automatically tests for the most common security issues specific to cms platforms.
Top vulnerabilities in cms platforms
Content Injection (Stored XSS)
CMS content fields that accept and render unvalidated HTML or JavaScript, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute for every visitor.
Admin Panel Authentication Bypass
Admin routes accessible without proper authentication, or login forms vulnerable to brute force without lockout mechanisms or rate limiting.
Unrestricted File Upload
Media upload functionality that accepts executable files like PHP or JSP, enabling remote code execution on the server.
Plugin and Theme Vulnerabilities
Third-party plugins or themes with known vulnerabilities that are not updated, providing easy entry points for attackers.
Missing Content Security Policy
Lack of CSP headers allowing inline script execution, making XSS attacks more impactful and harder to mitigate.
Exposed Admin Paths
Predictable admin panel URLs like /admin or /wp-admin without IP restrictions or additional authentication layers.

Frequently asked questions
How does VibeEval test CMS content for XSS?
VibeEval submits various XSS payloads through all content creation endpoints including WYSIWYG editors, markdown fields, and custom fields. It then checks whether the payloads execute when the content is viewed.
Can VibeEval check for file upload vulnerabilities?
Yes. VibeEval tests file upload functionality with various file types and extensions, checking for missing validation, executable file upload, and directory traversal in upload paths.
Does VibeEval scan for known CMS plugin vulnerabilities?
VibeEval identifies common CMS frameworks and tests for known vulnerabilities in detected plugins, themes, and core versions.
How do I secure my CMS admin panel?
Use strong authentication with MFA, restrict admin paths by IP, implement rate limiting on login, and keep all components updated. VibeEval tests all of these controls.
Is a headless CMS more secure than a traditional CMS?
Headless CMS reduces the attack surface by separating content management from rendering, but API security becomes more critical. VibeEval tests both architectures effectively.
