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 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the move function. An attacker can move and re-rank pages within a restricted subtree by supplying crafted values for _targetId and _position through the page REST update endpoint, potentially altering the structure and order of protected content without proper authorization.
