CVE-2026-49292
UnknownCVSS 0.0Summary
Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system. Prior to 16.0, the unauthenticated /init-db/ page handled by InitDBView in tcms/core/views.py remains reachable after initial setup and proxies repeated requests to Kiwi/manage.py migrate. The migration command is reentrant, so repeated access reports that no migrations are available and does not cause data loss, alter application state, reveal confidential information, or produce a documented availability impact. This issue is fixed in version 16.0.
Risk Assessment
Although the vulnerability does not cause direct data loss or information disclosure, unauthenticated access to the /init-db/ page could be used to trigger repeated migration operations, potentially loading the system. The risk is low, but updating is recommended.
Recommendation
Update Kiwi TCMS to version 16.0 or later to fix this vulnerability. Until updated, consider restricting access to the /init-db/ page at the web server or network level.
Other vulnerabilities in Kiwi TCMS
See all- CVE-2026-54724Medium
In Kiwi TCMS prior to 16.1, the account confirmation endpoint accepted an unvalidated next parameter, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to create a URL on a trusted Kiwi TCMS hostname that redirects a victim to an arbitrary external domain. The trusted origin can support credential-harvesting pages, bypass email security filters and link-reputation checks, or deliver malware through a convincing account-confirmation lure. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.
- CVE-2026-55630Unknown
Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system. Prior to 16.1, TestCase.extra_link and TestPlan.extra_link accepted unsanitized user input and rendered stored values verbatim, creating an opportunity for cross-site scripting. Official Docker images and unmodified Kiwi TCMS middleware send a Content-Security-Policy header that blocks inline JavaScript, making exploitation difficult in default deployments, while customized deployments that weaken those security settings may remain vulnerable. Version 16.1 properly sanitizes both fields and resets existing database records that do not validate to null. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.
- CVE-2023-36809High
Kiwi TCMS, a test management system, had an issue with incorrect Nginx configuration that allowed potentially dangerous scripts to be executed from attachments. Versions prior to 12.5 improperly handled the `Content-Type: text/plain` header, posing a risk to users.
- CVE-2023-33977High
Kiwi TCMS, a test management system, had vulnerabilities in file upload validation, allowing potentially dangerous files to be uploaded and arbitrary JavaScript execution in the browser. Additionally, Nginx's `proxy_pass` directive could strip some headers, weakening the protections of Kiwi TCMS when served behind a reverse proxy.
