CVE-2026-113665 Details
Description
ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 4.33.0, the notification module exposes PATCH and DELETE REST endpoints that perform operations directly on the underlying MongoDB collection without verifying that the requester is authenticated or owns the target notification. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker who obtains a valid notification ID can modify or permanently delete another user's notification. This issue is fixed in version 4.33.0.
A vulnerability exists in ApostropheCMS versions prior to 4.33.0 within the notification module. The issue arises because the module's PATCH and DELETE REST endpoints manipulate the underlying MongoDB collection without verifying the requester's authentication or ownership of the notification. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify or delete another user's notification, provided they have a valid notification ID.
Users are advised to update to ApostropheCMS version 4.33.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
