Summary
The (1) update and (2) package-installation features in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier use http://rest.modx.com by default, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and trigger the execution of arbitrary code by leveraging the lack of the HTTPS protection mechanism.
Exploit prediction
2.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 81% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
