DescriptionCVE.org

Checkmate is an open-source, self-hosted tool designed to track and monitor server hardware, uptime, response times, and incidents in real-time with beautiful visualizations. From 3.3.0 until 3.9.2, enabling the global showURL setting causes the unauthenticated GET /api/v1/status-page/:url endpoint to return complete monitor objects from server/src/controllers/statusPageController.ts. The response includes the secret field used by HttpProvider.ts as an HTTP Authorization credential, even though BaseStatusPage.tsx does not display that value, allowing visitors to extract credentials from the JSON response and use them against monitored services. This issue is fixed in version 3.9.2.

AnalysisAI

Credential leakage in Bluewave Labs Checkmate versions 3.3.0 through 3.9.1 exposes HTTP Authorization secrets to unauthenticated remote visitors when the global showURL setting is enabled. The unauthenticated GET /api/v1/status-page/:url endpoint returns complete monitor objects from statusPageController.ts, including the secret field consumed by HttpProvider.ts as a bearer or basic-auth credential against monitored upstream services. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the Checkmate administrator has enabled the global showURL setting; deployments where showURL is disabled are not affected because the status-page endpoint does not expose monitor data in that configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the severity once the prerequisite configuration is in place: any unauthenticated internet user can issue a single HTTP GET and receive authorization credentials. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Checkmate v3.9.2 immediately; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the GitHub release tag at https://github.com/bluewave-labs/Checkmate/releases/tag/v3.9.2 and the associated commit cc1814f507041bb0f64845bed5d5442c21e920f2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all instances of Checkmate versions 3.3.0 through 3.9.1 currently deployed and verify whether the global showURL setting is enabled; document the scope of potentially exposed credentials and services. …
