Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast
CVE-2021-39173
Summary
Cachet is an open source status page system. With Cachet prior to and including 2.4.1, authenticated users, regardless of their privileges (User or Admin), can trick Cachet and install the instance again, leading to arbitrary code execution on the server. This issue was addressed in this GitHub forked repository https://github.com/fiveai/Cachet by improving the middleware `ReadyForUse`, which now performs a stricter validation of the instance name. As a workaround, only allow trusted source IP addresses to access to the administration dashboard.
