CVE-2023-46942 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2024-01-13

EverShop is an open-source Node.js e-commerce platform. A lack of authentication controls in its GraphQL API endpoints allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive information. An attacker can query the GraphQL endpoints directly without credentials to retrieve data that should require authorization.
