Overview

apostrophe is a content management system (CMS) for Node.js. It supports in-context editing, schema-driven content types, flexible widgets and a great deal more. This module contains everything necessary to build a website with ApostropheCMS.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness in the getBearer function of the authentication middleware. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts by using a password-only authenticated token to bypass additional authentication requirements.

Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker knows valid user credentials but does not have access to the required TOTP or MFA code, and the deployment uses multi-factor authentication.
