CVE-2021-39173

Forced reinstall

Published Aug 27, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS 2.4% KEV · Not listed
Description
Cachet is an open source status page system. Prior to version 2.5.1 authenticated users, regardless of their privileges (User or Admin), can trick Cachet and install the instance again, leading to arbitrary code execution on the server. This issue was addressed in version 2.5.1 by improving the middleware `ReadyForUse`, which now performs a stricter validation of the instance name. As a workaround, only allow trusted source IP addresses to access to the administration dashboard.
