Advisories for Npm/Nexkey package

2023

Incorrect Authorization

Nexkey is a lightweight fork of Misskey v12 optimized for small to medium size servers. Prior to 12.23Q4.5, Nexkey allows external apps using tokens issued by administrators and moderators to call admin APIs. This allows malicious third-party apps to perform operations such as updating server settings, as well as compromise object storage and email server credentials. This issue has been patched in 12.23Q4.5.

Improper Input Validation

nexkey is a microblogging platform. Insufficient validation of ActivityPub requests received in inbox could allow any user to impersonate another user in certain circumstances. This issue has been patched in version 12.122.2.

Improper Authentication

Nexkey is a fork of Misskey, an open source, decentralized social media platform. Prior to version 12.121.9, incomplete URL validation can allow users to bypass authentication for access to the job queue dashboard. Version 12.121.9 contains a fix for this issue. As a workaround, it may be possible to avoid this by blocking access using tools such as Cloudflare's WAF.
