Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Madrid took a 26th-minute lead when Sami Khedira's brilliant no-look cross to Kaka led to Gonzalo Higuain's opening goal.
CSKA goalkeeper Sergei Chepchugov gifted Madrid the second goal when he fumbled Ronaldo's long-range shot in the 55th minute.
Karim Benzema poked home the rebound from his own shot in the 70th, only for Zoran Tosic to score from long range seven minutes later.
Ronaldo ensured a 5-2 aggregate victory on the last move of the game at Santiago Bernabeu stadium, giving the Portugal forward his 42nd goal of the season and his sixth in the competition.
Madrid, the record nine-time champion, had failed to progress past the last 16 in the six previous seasons before Mourinho's arrival. Last year, the Champions League winner with FC Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010 took Madrid to the semi-finals.
Madrid's victory came at a cost with midfielder Xabi Alonso out of the next match after being booked just before Ronaldo's first goal.
