Use of GET Request Method With Sensitive Query Strings

A CWE-598 “Use of GET Request Method with Sensitive Query Strings” was discovered affecting the 130.8005 TCP/IP Gateway running firmware version 12h. Both the SHA-1 hash of the password as well as the session tokens are included as part of the URL and therefore exposed to information leakage scenarios. An attacker capable of accessing such values (e.g., victim browser, network traffic inspection) can exploit this vulnerability to leak both the password hash as well as session tokens and bypass the authentication mechanism using a pass-the-hash attack.Show less

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in TP-Link TL-SG108E 1.0.0 Build 20201208 Rel. 40304. Affected is an unknown function of the file /usr_account_set.cgi of the component HTTP GET Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument username/password leads to use of get request method with sensitive query strings. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.0.0 Build 20250124 Rel. 54920(Beta) is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early. They reacted very professional and provided a pre-fix version for their customers.Show less

An issue was discovered in Optimizely Configured Commerce before 5.2.2408. A medium-severity issue exists in requests for resources where the session token is submitted as a URL parameter. This exposes information about the authenticated session, which can be leveraged for session hijacking.Show less

An issue was discovered on HMS Anybus X-Gateway AB7832-F 3 devices. The gateway exposes a web interface on port 80. An unauthenticated GET request to a specific URL triggers the reboot of the Anybus gateway (or at least most of its modules). An attacker can use this feature to carry out a denial of service attack by continuously sending GET requests to that URL.Show less

dectalk-tts is a Node package to interact with the aeiou Dectalk web API. In `dectalk-tts@1.0.0`, network requests to the third-party API are sent over HTTP, which is unencrypted. Unencrypted traffic can be easily intercepted and modified by attackers. Anyone who uses the package could be the victim of a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. The network request was upgraded to HTTPS in version `1.0.1`. There are no workarounds, but some precautions include not sending any sensitive information and carefully verifying the API response before saving it.Show less

Rapid7's InsightVM maintenance mode login page suffers from a sensitive information exposure vulnerability whereby, sensitive information is exposed through query strings in the URL when login is attempted before the page is fully loaded.  This vulnerability allows attackers to acquire sensitive information such as passwords, auth tokens, usernames etc.     The vulnerability is remediated in version 6.6.244.  Show less

IBM Maximo Application Suite 8.10, 8.11 and IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.3 stores sensitive information in URL parameters. This may lead to information disclosure if unauthorized parties have access to the URLs via server logs, referrer header or browser history. IBM X-Force ID: 255075.Show less

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. When reaching the /files page, a JWT is passed via GET request. Inclusion of session tokens in URLs poses a security risk as URLs are often logged in various places (e.g., web server logs, browser history). Attackers gaining access to these logs may hijack active user sessions, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information or actions on behalf of the user. This issue has been addressed in version 10.10.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.Show less

A use of GET request method with sensitive query strings vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS 7.0.0 - 7.0.12, 7.2.0 - 7.2.5 and 7.4.0 allows an attacker to view plaintext passwords of remote services such as RDP or VNC, if the attacker is able to read the GET requests to those services.Show less

NVIDIA Omniverse Workstation Launcher for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the authentication flow, where a user’s access token is displayed in the browser user's address bar. An attacker could use this token to impersonate the user to access launcher resources. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to information disclosure. Show less

PowerPath Management Appliance with versions 3.3, 3.2*, 3.1 & 3.0* contains sensitive information disclosure vulnerability. An Authenticated admin user can able to exploit the issue and view sensitive information stored in the logs. Show less
