We present the status of dark matter searches performed by the Compact Muon
Solenoid Experiment using 7 TeV pp data collected by the CERN Large Hadron
Collider in 2010 and 2011. The majority of the results shown here were obtained
using 1.1 fb-1 of data. We give highlights from analyses searching for
candidates such as WIMPs, gravitinos, axinos and TeV scale particles. All
observations so far were found to be consistent with the Standard Model
predictions. The search results were used to set exclusion limits on various
new physics scenarios.Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of Balkan Workshop 2011 (BW2011, 28
