Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in digi-news and digi-ads, which potentially can be exploited by a malicious person to bypass the authentication process easier than expected.

The vulnerability is caused due to an authentication error in "admin.php". It is possible to gain access knowing either an administrator's login or password (knowledge of both is not neccessary), which makes it a lot easier for a malicious person to brute force access to the system.

This can be achieved by guessing one of these values and placing it in the cookie used during the authentication process.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.1. However, prior versions may also be affected.
