Description

Summary

Active debug code in help/resetpw.php allows remote attackers to get the password reset link (which contains the password hash in the current implementation) via the unittest POST parameter.

Details

openflights/help/resetpw.php

Lines 71 to 74 in f53e452

if (isset($_POST["unittest"])) {
echo $link . "***" . $row['challenge'];
exit(0);

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
