high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428643

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - HAX CMS allows you to manage your microsite universe with PHP or NodeJs backends. In versions 11.0.13 and
 below of haxcms-nodejs and versions 11.0.8 and below of haxcms-php, API endpoints do not perform
 authorization checks when interacting with a resource. Both the JS and PHP versions of the CMS do not
 verify that a user has permission to interact with a resource before performing a given operation. The API
 endpoints within the HAX CMS application check if a user is authenticated, but don't check for
 authorization before performing an operation. This is fixed in versions 11.0.14 of haxcms-nodejs and
 11.0.9 of haxcms-php. (CVE-2025-54378)
