| CVE-2009-2422 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Jul 10, 2009 | The example code for the digest authentication functionality (http_authentication.rb) in Ruby on Rails before 2.3.3 defines an authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest block that returns nil instead of false when the user does not exist, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass authentication for applications that are derived from this example by sending an invalid username without a password. | |
| CVE-2007-4043 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Jul 27, 2007 | file.cgi in Secure Computing SecurityReporter (aka Network Security Analyzer) before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a name parameter ending with a "%00.gif" sequence. NOTE: a separate traversal vulnerability could be leveraged to download arbitrary files. | |
| CVE-2026-44547 | Cri | 0.62 | 9.6 | 0.00 | May 12, 2026 | ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. From 7.2.0 to 7.2.2, The fix for CVE-2026-4058 is incomplete. The hardening commit was merged and then silently stripped from src/api/routes/public/public-user.php by an unrelated PR before any 7.2.x tag was cut. Every shipped 7.2.x release therefore remains exploitable by the PoC published with the original advisory. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.1. | |
| CVE-2026-1568 | Cri | 0.62 | 9.6 | 0.00 | Feb 3, 2026 | Rapid7 InsightVM versions before 8.34.0 contain a signature verification issue on the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) cloud endpoint that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to InsightVM accounts setup via "Security Console" installations, resulting in full account takeover. The issue occurs due to the application processing these unsigned assertions and issuing session cookies that granted access to the targeted user accounts. This has been fixed in version 8.34.0 of InsightVM. | |
| CVE-2025-62376 | Cri | 0.62 | — | 0.00 | Oct 14, 2025 | pwn.college DOJO is an education platform for learning cybersecurity. Prior to commit 467db0b9ea0d9a929dc89b41f6eb59f7cfc68bef, the /workspace endpoint contains an improper authentication vulnerability that allows an attacker to access any active Windows VM without proper authorization. The vulnerability occurs in the view_desktop function where the user is retrieved via a URL parameter without verifying that the requester has administrative privileges. An attacker can supply any user ID and arbitrary password in the request parameters to impersonate another user. When requesting a Windows desktop service, the function does not validate the supplied password before generating access credentials, allowing the attacker to obtain an iframe source URL that grants full access to the target user's Windows VM. This impacts all users with active Windows VMs, as an attacker can access and modify data on the Windows machine and in the home directory of the associated Linux machine via the Z: drive. This issue has been patched in commit 467db0b9ea0d9a929dc89b41f6eb59f7cfc68bef. No known workarounds exist. | |
