Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in haxtheweb haxcms up to 11.0.6. This vulnerability affects an unknown code of the component Setting Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insecure default initialization of resource vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-1188. The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the administrator, but the default is not secure. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

HAXcms with nodejs backend allows users to start the server in any HAXsite or HAXcms instance. In versions 11.0.6 and below, the NodeJS version of HAX CMS uses an insecure default configuration designed for local development. The default configuration does not perform authorization or authentication checks. If a user were to deploy haxcms-nodejs without modifying the default settings, ‘HAXCMS_DISABLE_JWT_CHECKS‘ would be set to ‘true‘ and their deployment would lack session authentication. This is fixed in version 11.0.7.
