Another significant threat from security vulnerabilities in CMS platforms is content tampering when an attacker modifies the website in front of visitors. This attack occurs when the attacker unauthorizedly alters or modifies the website's contents, like changing the web page content to their types by defacing the web pages, injecting malicious script, changing the information, etc. These actions can destroy an organization's credibility, propagate malware to unassuming guests, or enable phishing attempts. One of the most common ways of content tampering is cross-site scripting (XSS), where an attacker injects a malicious piece of code into a website's content, potentially exposing it and its users. This threat reminds us of the need for tight security protocols to protect against unauthorized content alteration. Data breaches are one of the most severe consequences of turntables in CMS platforms. Attackers usually use vulnerabilities to get unauthorized access to sensitive user information like usernames, passwords, email addresses, and payment details. The most common entry points for these breaches are insecure login pages, outdated plugins, and missing database configurations from high-profile breaches over WordPress, resulting in millions of user records being stolen, which have cost businesses substantial amounts of money and reputation damage. Yet this highlights the necessity for active security measures to protect sensitive information.

EDA IOSEE! A ESOS IID IE IEEE IDE I Role- based access control (RBAC) keeps the website's sensitive area inaccessible to unauthorized users. In particular, this approach is useful in a CMS environment where multiple users are performing several types of activities because it allows control over who can access critical functions and information according to the roles of each user. Defining roles and permissions quickly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and lowers the chance of security breaches (only qualified personnel can do sensitive actions).
