CVE-2026-85708 Details
Description
Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts. Prior to 5.2.3, Chart share and embed tokens were signed with CB_SECRET, including known or shipped-default values in stock source and repository Docker Compose installs. The vulnerable surface is chart share-token verification and filter-access routes for private charts. An attacker who knows the deployment's CB_SECRET targets a private chart that has been shared at least once so a share-policy row exists, then forges a Chart-subject token for that chart id. The known signing key permits valid Chart tokens, and the filter-access path accepts sequential integer ids without requiring a legitimate share link; token expiry and revocation are ineffective once the secret is known. The condition requires a known or default secret and an existing share-policy row. A bare container where CB_SECRET is undefined is outside this path, and a unique secret excludes it only while the value remains unknown and unpredictable. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate integer ids and read arbitrary private chart data, including chartData, without possessing a legitimate share link. This issue is fixed in version 5.2.3.
A vulnerability in Chartbrew prior to version 5.2.3 allows for the forgery of share tokens used to access private chart data. This issue arises because share tokens are signed with a secret key (CB_SECRET) that is set to a default value in new installations. An attacker who knows this secret can create a valid token for a private chart that has been shared at least once, bypassing access controls and token expiration mechanisms. The vulnerability is present in the chart sharing functionality, where the absence of proper visibility checks allows unauthorized access to private chart data.
Users can update to Chartbrew version 5.2.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
