# ApostropheCMS: Exposure of Sensitive Information via predictable export filenames

Advisory record · `GHSA-5gc8-frw3-3vqm`

- **Identifiers:** `GHSA-5gc8-frw3-3vqm` · `CVE-2026-112953`
- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** CVSS 6.0 Medium
- **Critical:** No
- **Weakness (CWE):** [CWE-200](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/200.html)
- **Tags:** [Information disclosure](https://agentprime.io/advisories/tag/info-disclosure.md)

Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 21 Oct 2026, 19:45 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `@apostrophecms/import-export` (npm): affected `<3.7.1`; fixed in `3.7.1`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> ApostropheCMS's @apostrophecms/import-export module, in versions before 3.7.1, publishes export archives under a deterministic filename (site shortName, document type, timestamp, and format extension) with no secret token, at a public uploads URL. An unauthenticated attacker who can guess that path can download the archive over HTTP while it remains present, which by default is 10 minutes, so the exported content can be exposed without a session. Upgrade @apostrophecms/import-export to version 3.7.1 or later, which the source lists as the fixed version.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-5gc8-frw3-3vqm>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
