SCA: security update for getkirby/cms (GHSA-5mvj-rvp8-rf45)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410933
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Kirby is a content management system. A vulnerability in versions prior to 3.5.8.3, 3.6.6.3, 3.7.5.2,
3.8.4.1, and 3.9.6 affects all Kirby sites with user accounts (unless Kirby's API and Panel are disabled
in the config). It can only be abused if a Kirby user is logged in on a device or browser that is shared
with potentially untrusted users or if an attacker already maliciously used a previous password to log in
to a Kirby site as the affected user. Insufficient Session Expiration is when a web site permits an
attacker to reuse old session credentials or session IDs for authorization. In the variation described in
this advisory, it allows attackers to stay logged in to a Kirby site on another device even if the logged
in user has since changed their password. Kirby did not invalidate user sessions that were created with a
password that was since changed by the user or by a site admin. If a user changed their password to lock
out an attacker who was already in possession of the previous password or of a login session on another
device or browser, the attacker would not be reliably prevented from accessing the Kirby site as the
affected user. The problem has been patched in Kirby 3.5.8.3, 3.6.6.3, 3.7.5.2, 3.8.4.1, and 3.9.6. In all
of the mentioned releases, the maintainers have updated the authentication implementation to keep track of
the hashed password in each active session. If the password changed since the login, the session is
invalidated. To enforce this fix even if the vulnerability was previously abused, all users are logged out
from the Kirby site after updating to one of the patched releases. (CVE-2023-38489)
