MISP contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its LDAP and LinOTP authentication components due to insufficient validation of user-supplied credentials. The custom LdapAuthenticate and LinOTPAuthenticate components replace CakePHP's FormAuthenticate implementation but did not replicate its credential validation checks. As a result, empty or non-string values could reach the underlying authentication mechanisms. In the LDAP authentication path, an attacker able to identify a valid directory user's email address could submit an empty password. The empty credential could be passed to ldap_bind(), where an LDAP server accepting unauthenticated binds may return a successful result for a valid distinguished name combined with an empty password. MISP could consequently treat the attacker as the corresponding authenticated directory user without verification of the user's password. The issue also affected the LinOTP authentication component. Invalid credential types were not rejected before being processed, and when mixed authentication was enabled, an empty password could be checked against a locally stored MISP password hash. LDAP-provisioned MISP accounts could additionally be created with an empty local password because account creation skipped normal validation, resulting in a hash corresponding to an empty password. This could permit authentication through the local fallback mechanism when such an account was no longer resolved through LDAP. Successful exploitation could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to impersonate an existing MISP user. If the targeted account has administrative or other privileged permissions, the attacker could gain corresponding access to sensitive threat-intelligence data, modify or delete information, alter configuration, or perform other privileged operations. The patch resolves the vulnerability by requiring authentication identifiers and passwords to be valid strings, rejecting empty passwords where they are not explicitly permitted, and assigning a randomly generated local password to LDAP-provisioned accounts instead of storing a hash derived from an empty password.Show less

A vulnerability exists in the Credential Manager component that may allow for unauthorized administrative access. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability on a device in its factory-default or post-ZTP state before any administrator has configured credentials by providing a predictable factory-default password. Successful exploitation could result in full administrative control of the affected device during the initial setup process.Show less

A weakness has been identified in Tenda AC15 15.03.05.19. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /etc_ro/smb.conf of the component Samba. Executing a manipulation can lead to weak password requirements. The attack is only possible within the local network. A high complexity level is associated with this attack. The exploitability is regarded as difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.Show less

A Weak Password Requirements vulnerability in the password management function of Juniper Networks CTP OS might allow an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to exploit weak passwords of local accounts and potentially take full control of the device. The password management menu enables the administrator to set password complexity requirements, but these settings are not saved. The issue can be verified with the menu option "Show password requirements". Failure to enforce the intended requirements can lead to weak passwords being used, which significantly increases the likelihood that an attacker can guess these and subsequently attain unauthorized access. This issue affects CTP OS versions 9.2R1 and 9.2R2.Show less

Nautobot is a Network Source of Truth and Network Automation Platform. Prior to versions 2.4.30 and 3.0.10, user creation and editing via the REST API fails to apply the password validation rules defined by Django's AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS setting (which defaults to an empty list, i.e., no specific rules, but can be configured in Nautobot's nautobot_config.py to apply various rules if desired). This can potentially allow for the creation or modification of users to have passwords that are weak or otherwise do not comply with configured standards. This issue has been patched in versions 2.4.30 and 3.0.10.Show less

Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.0.0, the application allows users to set weak passwords (e.g., 1234, password) without enforcing minimum strength requirements. Additionally, active sessions remain valid after a user changes their password. An attacker who compromises an account (via brute-force or credential stuffing) can maintain persistent access even after the victim resets their password. Version 2.0.0 contains a fix.Show less
