CVE-2023-36223

bbs-go through 4.4.6 contains an improper certificate validation vulnerability that allows network-positioned attackers to intercept SMTP traffic because sendEmail() sets InsecureSkipVerify to true. Attackers can present any certificate to capture SMTP PLAIN auth credentials and read or modify outgoing password-reset and verification emails.

bbs-go through 4.4.6 contains a permission bypass vulnerability in the AdminMiddleware authorization logic where the read-only dashboard.user.view permission rule matches the /api/admin/user/synccount endpoint before the intended dashboard.user.update rule. Authenticated users with only view permissions can call the synccount endpoint to trigger expensive full-table user recounts and cache invalidations, causing denial of service through repeated concurrent database operations.

bbs-go through 4.4.6 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the /api/login/google_one_tap endpoint that allows remote attackers to log in as other users by submitting Google ID tokens issued to any OAuth client. Attackers operating their own Google OAuth client can capture a victim's Google-signed ID token and replay it, since the aud claim is never checked, to obtain an authenticated session as the victim's Google-linked account.

bbs-go through 4.4.6 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to upload HTML or SVG files by spoofing the multipart Content-Type in POST /api/upload. Attackers can upload script-bearing documents served inline from /res and send their URLs to administrators, executing script on the forum's origin.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in bbs-go version 3.5.5 and earlier. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload in the comment parameter of the article function.
