NewCVE-2025-62713 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade @kottster/server to version 3.3.2 or higher.
Overview
@kottster/server is an Instant admin panel for your project
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass via the initApp and installPackagesForDataSource actions. An attacker can gain unauthorized administrative access and execute arbitrary system commands by repeatedly triggering application reinitialization to create a new root account, obtaining a JWT token, and leveraging unescaped command arguments.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the application is running in development mode and accessible to the attacker.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by not exposing development servers to public networks or untrusted users, and by using production mode for any deployment accessible from outside trusted environments.
