CVE-2026-68933

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Chartbrew prior to 5.2.3 stores public dashboard passwords in plaintext, accepts them through a URL query parameter, and validates them without effective attempt throttling. An unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly submit candidate passwords or obtain password-bearing server or proxy logs. The vulnerability affects public dashboards with password protection enabled.

Risk Assessment

Unlimited online guesses enable brute force, while cleartext storage and URL transport expose the secret in logs; a recovered password grants access to the protected dashboard and its chart data.

Recommendation

Upgrade Chartbrew to version 5.2.3 or later and remove dashboard passwords from logs and plaintext storage.

Original NVD description (English source)

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, public dashboard passwords were stored in plaintext, accepted through a URL query parameter, and checked without effective attempt throttling. The vulnerable surface is public password-protected dashboard storage and validation routes. An unauthenticated attacker targets a public password-protected dashboard and repeatedly submits candidate passwords or obtains password-bearing server or proxy logs. Unlimited online guesses enable brute force, while cleartext storage and URL transport expose the secret in application storage and server or proxy access logs. The target must be a public dashboard with password protection enabled. Even failed attempts reveal chart count and configuration without the password; a recovered password grants access to the protected dashboard and its chart data. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.2.3.
