What is CVE-2023-22746?

CKAN, an open-source data management system, has a vulnerability in its Docker images where the default secret key is shared across multiple instances. If users do not define a custom secret key in their .env file, it could lead to authentication forgery, allowing attackers to craft fraudulent requests. This issue primarily affects the newer Docker images while the legacy images remain unaffected. Users are advised to configure their .env files appropriately to mitigate this risk.
