HAXcms createSite SSRF Enables Arbitrary File Read
CVE-2026-46393GHSA-q862-gcgq-5m6g
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (@haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs 26.0.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Summary An authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in HAXcms allows users to fetch arbitrary internal or local resources and write the responses to a web-accessible directory, enabling arbitrary file read and internal network access. Details The createSite endpoint in HAXcms (v11.0.6) accepts a build.files parameter that allows an authenticated user to supply arbitrary URLs or local file paths. This input is processed without validation and ultimately fetched server-side using filegetcontents(). The data flow is as follows: - User input (build.files) is processed via objecttoarray() into a PHP array - Assigned to $filesToDownload in Operations.php (line 2626) - Iterated over in Operations.php (line 2730), where each entry is passed to HAXCMSFile::save() with bulk-import enabled In HAXCMSFile.php (line 30), the following occurs: Here, tmpname is attacker-controlled and may contain: - External URLs (http://attacker.com) - Internal services (http://127.0.0.1) -…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-46393 Advisory: HAXcms createSite SSRF Enables Arbitrary File Read IDs: CVE-2026-46393, GHSA-q862-gcgq-5m6g Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-46393 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:53 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.1) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs 26.0.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs: affected <= 25.0.0; fixed in 26.0.0 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-q862-gcgq-5m6g (OSV record GHSA-q862-gcgq-5m6g lists affected ranges: npm @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs >=0 <26.0.0 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-q862-gcgq-5m6g (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-q862-gcgq-5m6g lists affected ranges: npm @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs >=0 <=25.0.0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
