Last modified
CVE-2023-26045 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. NodeBB is Node.js based forum software. Starting in version 2.5.0 and prior to version 2.8.7, due to the use of the object destructuring assignment syntax in the user export code path, combined with a path traversal vulnerability, a specially crafted payload could invoke the user export logic to arbitrarily execute javascript files on the local disk. EPSS estimates a 0.83% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
