CVE-2026-44668 Details
Description
FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to 1.8.3, AccessControlInterceptor, the authentication gate for all Struts2 actions, unconditionally calls invocation.invoke() without checking for a valid session. Four action methods in BoilerPlateConfig perform no local session check either, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to read, overwrite, deactivate, and permanently delete any boilerplate template in the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.3.
A vulnerability in FACTION, a PenTesting report generation and collaboration framework, allows unauthenticated attackers to access, modify, and delete boilerplate templates. This issue arises because the AccessControlInterceptor, which manages authentication for Struts2 actions, fails to verify session validity before invoking action methods. As a result, four methods in BoilerPlateConfig can be exploited without authentication, enabling attackers to read, overwrite, deactivate, and permanently delete any template in the system.
To address this vulnerability, add a session check in the AccessControlInterceptor to reject unauthenticated requests before they reach the action methods. Additionally, each BoilerPlateConfig action method should include a session verification and, for template detail lookups, an ownership check.
