Summary

CVE-2023-36821: Uptime Kuma, a self-hosted monitoring tool prior to version 1.22.1, has a vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to install a maliciously crafted plugin, potentially leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability arises from the ability of authenticated users to install plugins from an official list using the web interface's disabled feature but still accessible API endpoints. By downloading and installing a plugin without validation or ignoring scripts, a maliciously crafted plugin can exploit npm scripts and execute remote code. Organizations using affected versions of Uptime Kuma should update to version 1.22.1 to mitigate this risk of unauthorized code execution. The severity of this vulnerability is rated as high (CVSS score: 8.8) due to its potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
