Overview

@haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs is a HAXcms nodejs backend

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Default Credentials via the HAXCMSClass in the HAXCMS.js file. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to self-hosted instances, modify site content, and perform further attacks by obtaining these secrets from public repositories.

Note: This is exploitable if the instance is deployed without changing the default credentials or secrets.
