A vulnerability was found in Cockpit up to 2.11.3. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /system/users/save. The manipulation of the argument name/email leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 2.11.4 is able to address this issue. The patch is named bdcd5e3bc651c0839c7eea807f3eb6af856dbc76. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure and acted very professional. A patch and new release was made available very quickly.

A vulnerability has been discovered in Agentejo Cockpit CMS v0.5.5 that consists in an arbitrary file upload in ‘/media/api’ parameter via post request. An attacker could upload files to the server, compromising the entire infrastructure.

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in the Admin portal of Cockpit CMS v2.5.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary Administrator commands.

Incorrect access control in the component /models/Content of Cockpit CMS v2.5.2 allows unauthorized attackers to access sensitive data.

Impact

This is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the MongoLite Aggregation Optimizer.

Any Cockpit CMS instance running version 2.13.4 or earlier with API access enabled is potentially affected.

Who is impacted: - Any deployment where the /api/content/aggregate/{model} endpoint is publicly accessible or reachable by untrusted users. - Attackers in possession of a valid read-only API key (the lowest privilege level) can exploit this vulnerability — no admin access is required.

What an attacker can do: - Inject arbitrary SQL via unsanitized field names in aggregation queries. - Bypass the state=1 published-content filter to access unpublished or restricted content. - Extract unauthorized data from the underlying SQLite content database.

Confidentiality impact is High. Integrity and availability are not directly affected by this vulnerability.

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched in version 2.13.5.

All users running Cockpit CMS version 2.13.4 or earlier are strongly advised to upgrade to 2.13.5 or later immediately.

The fix applies the same field-name sanitization introduced in v2.13.3 for toJsonPath() to the toJsonExtractRaw() method in lib/MongoLite/Aggregation/Optimizer.php, closing the injection vector in the Aggregation Optimizer.

Cockpit Content Platform through version 2.2.1 is vulnerable to a two-factor authentication (2FA) bypass. The 2FA secret is disclosed in a JWT token after user logs into their account, allowing an attacker to bypass the 2FA code. A patch is available on the develop branch and is expected to be part of version 2.2.2.
