How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-44073 exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in SeaCMS v13.3 via the `admin_comment_news.php` component. Attackers manipulate user-supplied input in comment parameters, which is improperly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. This allows malicious SQL statements to be executed, leading to unauthorized database access, data leakage, or remote code execution. The flaw arises due to insufficient input validation when processing comment-related requests in the admin panel.
