Due to an unnecessarily strict conditional in the code handling the first step of the SSO process, the pre-existing logic that added (and later checked) a nonce was inadvertently rendered opt-in instead of opt-out. This re-exposed a vulnerability in that a specially crafted Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack could theoretically take over another user account during the single sign-on process. The issue has been fully patched in version 1.17.2.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-352"],"references":["https://blogs.opera.com/security/2022/03/bug-bounty-adventures-a-nodebb-0-day/","https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/a2400f6baff44cb2996487bcd0cc6e2acc74b3d4","https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/security/advisories/GHSA-xmgg-fx9p-prq6","https://blogs.opera.com/security/2022/03/bug-bounty-adventures-a-nodebb-0-day/","https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/a2400f6baff44cb2996487bcd0cc6e2acc74b3d4"],"products":["nodebb:nodebb"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:35:14.992143698+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-36076","score":0.00576,"percentile":0.47533,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-xmgg-fx9p-prq6","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-xmgg-fx9p-prq6","summary":"NodeBB account takeover via SSO plugins","modified":"2023-11-08T04:09:59.760111Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"nodebb","purl":"pkg:npm/nodebb","ranges":["<1.17.2"],"fixed":["1.17.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
