CVE-2026-112955 Details
Description
ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 3.7.1 of the import-export module, an authenticated importer can submit archives whose decompressed bytes, entry count, and entry sizes are not bounded before document-type authorization, and extraction or parsing failures can leave staging and extracted artifacts without unconditional cleanup. The already-hardened pre-authentication and write-error paths are separate, and current end-to-end denial-of-service impact from this residual path remains subject to maintainer validation. This issue is fixed in version 3.7.1.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the ApostropheCMS import-export module, affecting versions prior to 3.7.1. The issue arises because the importer can upload archives without proper limits on decompressed size, entry count, or entry types, before document-type authorization. This can lead to excessive storage use and leftover artifacts from failed extractions or parsing, creating a potential denial-of-service condition. Although some improvements have been made, such as requiring authentication for large uploads and handling write errors, the core issues remain unaddressed.
Users can update to version 3.7.1 of the ApostropheCMS import-export module, which addresses this vulnerability.
