CVE-2026-85295

Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts. Prior to 5.2.3, four authentication helpers accepted session tokens signed with CBSECRET, including known, weak, or shipped-default values. The vulnerable surface is session JWT fallback in server/modules/verifyToken.js, verifyUser.js, getUserFromToken.js, and socketManager.js across the API and socket layer. A stock source or repository Docker Compose deployment retains a known, weak, or default CBSECRET and an attacker submits a forged HS256 token decoding to a target user id. Knowing the symmetric secret lets the attacker create a token that the legacy verification fallback accepts as the target user without that user's password or two-factor authentication. The condition includes stock source and repository Docker Compose installs and any otherwise known or weak CBSECRET; a bare container where CBSECRET is undefined is not affected by this fallback path. A forged session impersonates the chosen user across the entire API and socket layer and exercises that user's Chartbrew privileges. This issue is fixed in version 5.2.3.
