API credential exposure via merged query parameters
Published Sep 10, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Information exposure in Flextype CMS through 1.0.0-alpha.3 allows attackers to recover API credentials from logged REST request URLs. The Api endpoint merges getQueryParams() with the parsed request body, then uses the combined token and access_token values for authentication. Reachability requires access to web-server, proxy, or monitoring logs; each recovered token pair grants full REST API access.
