AI-suggested

Upgrade haxcms-nodejs to version 26.0.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Until upgrading, restrict access to authenticated users and monitor for suspicious site creation requests.

Description

HAX CMS helps manage microsite universe with PHP or NodeJs backends. Prior to version 26.0.0, the HAX CMS NodeJS application crashes when an authenticated attacker sends a specially crafted site creation request to the createSite endpoint. A single request is sufficient to take the entire application offline, requiring a manual server restart to restore service. Version 26.0.0 fixes the issue.
