CVE-2026-113710 Details
Description
ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 4.33.0, the self-service password-change endpoint verifies the current password but does not use the login module’s failed-attempt counter, throttle, delay, or lockout mechanism. An attacker with a valid authenticated session can submit repeated guesses for the current password without receiving a lockout or throttle response. This issue is fixed in version 4.33.0.
A vulnerability exists in ApostropheCMS versions prior to 4.33.0, where the password-change endpoint lacks proper throttling and lockout mechanisms. Although the endpoint verifies the current password, it does not apply the login module's failed-attempt counter or delay. This allows an attacker with a valid authenticated session to make repeated guesses for the current password without facing any restrictions. The issue has been addressed in version 4.33.0.
Users can update to ApostropheCMS version 4.33.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
