CVE-2022-36065 is a critical vulnerability affecting self-hosted GrowthBook instances prior to August 29, 2022, allowing unauthenticated attackers to register accounts and upload arbitrary files. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) has a complex attack vector, requiring specific non-production configurations (NODE_ENV and a weak JWT_SECRET) for arbitrary code execution. While there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the potential impact includes full compromise of the affected container. Organizations using GrowthBook should update immediately or implement the recommended workarounds to mitigate risk.
