HAXcms with nodejs backend allows users to start the server in any HAXsite or HAXcms instance. In versions 11.0.6 and below, the NodeJS version of HAXcms uses an insecure default configuration designed for local development. The default configuration does not perform authorization or authentication checks. If a user were to deploy haxcms-nodejs without modifying the default settings, ‘HAXCMS_DISABLE_JWT_CHECKS‘ would be set to ‘true‘ and their deployment would lack session authentication. This is fixed in version 11.0.7.
The default configuration of haxcms-nodejs sets the 'HAXCMS_DISABLE_JWT_CHECKS' variable to 'true', which is a design intended solely for local environments. If an administrator deploys the application without changing these settings, all authorization and authentication mechanisms based on JWT are completely bypassed. As a result, any network user can communicate with the HAXcms server as if they were a logged-in and authorized user.
An attacker without any credentials can gain unauthorized access to the entire HAXcms instance, potentially reading, modifying, or deleting data and taking control of content management.
Update haxcms-nodejs to version 11.0.7, where the issue has been fixed. Until the update is applied, ensure that the 'HAXCMS_DISABLE_JWT_CHECKS' variable is set to 'false' in the production configuration.
HAXcms with Node.js backend (haxcms-nodejs) in versions 11.0.6 and earlier, deployed with default configuration without manually disabling 'HAXCMS_DISABLE_JWT_CHECKS'.
