CVE-2022-47197 (GCVE-0-2022-47197)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

Severity ?
9.0 (Critical) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
CWE
  • CWE-453 - Insecure Default Variable Initialization
Summary
An insecure default vulnerability exists in the Post Creation functionality of Ghost Foundation Ghost 5.9.4. Default installations of Ghost allow non-administrator users to inject arbitrary Javascript in posts, which allow privilege escalation to administrator via XSS. To trigger this vulnerability, an attacker can send an HTTP request to inject Javascript in a post to trick an administrator into visiting the post.A stored XSS vulnerability exists in the `codeinjection_foot` for a post.

CVE-2025-61926 (GCVE-0-2025-61926)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published
2025-10-09 21:20
Modified
2025-10-16 18:13
Severity ?
4.6 (Medium) - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U
CWE
  • CWE-453 - Insecure Default Variable Initialization
  • CWE-798 - Use of Hard-coded Credentials
Summary
Allstar is a GitHub App to set and enforce security policies. In versions prior to 4.5, a vulnerability in Allstar’s Reviewbot component caused inbound webhook requests to be validated against a hard-coded, shared secret. The value used for the secret token was compiled into the Allstar binary and could not be configured at runtime. In practice, this meant that every deployment using Reviewbot would validate requests with the same secret unless the operator modified source code and rebuilt the component - an expectation that is not documented and is easy to miss. All Allstar releases prior to v4.5 that include the Reviewbot code path are affected. Deployments on v4.5 and later are not affected. Those who have not enabled or exposed the Reviewbot endpoint are not exposed to this issue.

Mitigation

Phase: System Configuration

Description:

  • Disable or change default settings when they can be used to abuse the system. Since those default settings are shipped with the product they are likely to be known by a potential attacker who is familiar with the product. For instance, default credentials should be changed or the associated accounts should be disabled.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
