CVE-2025-66022
CriticalSummary
FACTION (a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework) before version 1.7.1 allows arbitrary code execution on the server via the extension execution path. Missing authentication on the `/portal/AppStoreDashboard` endpoint allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload a malicious extension, leading to remote code execution.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can take over the Faction server, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and enabling further attacks in the network.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade FACTION to version 1.7.1 or later and restrict access to the `/portal/AppStoreDashboard` endpoint.
Other vulnerabilities in FACTION
See all- CVE-2026-44668Critical
In FACTION prior to 1.8.3, AccessControlInterceptor unconditionally calls invocation.invoke() without checking for a valid session. Four action methods in BoilerPlateConfig perform no local session check either, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to read, overwrite, deactivate, and permanently delete any boilerplate template in the system.
- CVE-2026-44669High
FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to 1.8.3, it is vulnerable to stored XSS via attachment filenames in assessment file preview flows. User-supplied filename values are persisted and later rendered into HTML/attribute contexts without output encoding, allowing attacker-controlled JavaScript to execute in the browser of any user who views the affected page. Because the payload is stored server-side and rendered to other users, exploitation is persistent and can impact privileged accounts.
- CVE-2026-44667High
FACTION prior to 1.8.3 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via attachment filenames in remediation verification file preview flows. User-supplied filenames are persisted and rendered into HTML and attribute contexts without output encoding, allowing attacker-controlled JavaScript to execute in the browser of any user who opens the affected views.
Original NVD description (English source)
FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to version 1.7.1, an extension execution path in Faction’s extension framework permits untrusted extension code to execute arbitrary system commands on the server when a lifecycle hook is invoked, resulting in remote code execution (RCE) on the host running Faction. Due to a missing authentication check on the /portal/AppStoreDashboard endpoint, an attacker can access the extension management UI and upload a malicious extension without any authentication, making this vulnerability exploitable by unauthenticated users. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1.
