{"id":"CVE-2026-44828","summary":"Qexo initialization endpoint can reset setup state and expose stored credentials","details":"Qexo is an open source online editor for static blogs. From 4.0.0 until 4.2.0, Qexo exposes /api/init_step/ through init_step_api without authentication, authorization, or a setup-completion guard. An unauthenticated requester with a valid CSRF token obtained from a public page can submit the first initialization step and reset the INIT setting, causing the instance to re-enter the setup flow. The setup response and /init/ page can expose stored PROVIDER configuration, including service credentials, in frontend content. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.0.","aliases":["GHSA-qfv8-hj33-4232"],"modified":"2026-10-15T02:30:44.661021188Z","published":"2026-10-12T21:56:35.696Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-538"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44828.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/Qexo/Qexo/releases/tag/4.2.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44828.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Qexo/Qexo/security/advisories/GHSA-qfv8-hj33-4232"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44828"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/Qexo/Qexo/commit/3782750c2d90bf145b88edab443e82f5545a2d33"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/qexo/qexo","events":[{"introduced":"5f70ed9569c9001b9282c61f2c0edc7b039092f3"},{"fixed":"3782750c2d90bf145b88edab443e82f5545a2d33"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"4.0.0"},{"fixed":"4.2.0"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["4.1.1","4.1.0","4.0.1","4.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-44828.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H"}]}
