bolt — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 5

Bolt is a PHP-based content management system designed for building websites and applications with its templating engine and modular architecture. Historically, it has been susceptible to remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities, often stemming from improper input validation and insecure default configurations. The platform's extensibility through plugins has introduced additional attack vectors, with several CVEs documented in areas like file upload handling and authentication bypasses. While no major public security incidents have been widely reported, the consistent discovery of flaws in core components and third-party extensions underscores the importance of regular updates and input sanitization when implementing Bolt-based solutions.
