|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-29906 | Hig | 0.49 | 8.6 | 0.00 | Apr 29, 2025 | Finit is a fast init for Linux systems. Versions starting from 3.0-rc1 and prior to version 4.11 bundle an implementation of getty for the `tty` configuration directive that can bypass `/bin/login`, i.e., a user can log in as any user without authentication. This issue has been patched in version 4.11. | |
| CVE-2024-11322 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Jan 15, 2025 | A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in CyberPower PowerPanel Business (PPB) 4.11.0. An unauthenticated remote attacker can restart the ppbd.exe process via the PowerPanel Business Service Watchdog service listening on TCP port 2003. The attacker can repeatedly restart ppbd.exe to render it unavailable. | |
| CVE-2023-46630 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Jun 4, 2024 | Improper Authentication vulnerability in wpase Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE): from n/a through 5.7.1. | |
| CVE-2017-12316 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Nov 16, 2017 | A vulnerability in the Guest Portal login page of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform multiple login attempts in excess of the configured login attempt limit. The vulnerability is due to insufficient server-side login attempt limit enforcement. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending modified login attempts to the Guest Portal login page. An exploit could allow the attacker to perform brute-force password attacks on the ISE Guest Portal. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve98518. | |
| CVE-2017-12281 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Nov 2, 2017 | A vulnerability in the implementation of Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) functionality for standalone configurations of Cisco Aironet 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Access Points could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to bypass authentication and connect to an affected device. The vulnerability exists because the affected device uses an incorrect default configuration setting of fail open when running in standalone mode. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting to connect to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass authentication and connect to the affected device. This vulnerability affects Cisco Aironet 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Access Points that are running a vulnerable software release and use WLAN configuration settings that include FlexConnect local switching and central authentication with MAC filtering. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvd46314. | |
| CVE-2017-9946 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Oct 23, 2017 | A vulnerability has been identified in Siemens APOGEE PXC and TALON TC BACnet Automation Controllers in all versions <V3.5. An attacker with network access to the integrated web server (80/tcp and 443/tcp) could bypass the authentication and download sensitive information from the device. | |
| CVE-2017-5635 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Oct 19, 2017 | In Apache NiFi before 0.7.2 and 1.x before 1.1.2 in a cluster environment, if an anonymous user request is replicated to another node, the originating node identity is used rather than the "anonymous" user. | |
| CVE-2017-15297 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.03 | Oct 16, 2017 | SAP Hostcontrol does not require authentication for the SOAP SAPControl endpoint. This is SAP Security Note 2442993. | |
| CVE-2017-14972 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Oct 9, 2017 | InFocus Mondopad 2.2.08 is vulnerable to authentication bypass when accessing uploaded files by entering Control-Alt-Delete, and then using Task Manager to reach a file. | |
| CVE-2017-14766 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Sep 27, 2017 | The Simple Student Result plugin before 1.6.4 for WordPress has an Authentication Bypass vulnerability because the fn_ssr_add_st_submit() function and fn_ssr_del_st_submit() function in functions.php only require knowing the student id number. | |
| CVE-2017-9803 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Sep 18, 2017 | Apache Solr's Kerberos plugin can be configured to use delegation tokens, which allows an application to reuse the authentication of an end-user or another application. There are two issues with this functionality (when using SecurityAwareZkACLProvider type of ACL provider e.g. SaslZkACLProvider). Firstly, access to the security configuration can be leaked to users other than the solr super user. Secondly, malicious users can exploit this leaked configuration for privilege escalation to further expose/modify private data and/or disrupt operations in the Solr cluster. The vulnerability is fixed from Apache Solr 6.6.1 onwards. | |
| CVE-2014-9624 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Sep 12, 2017 | CAPTCHA bypass vulnerability in MantisBT before 1.2.19. | |
| CVE-2017-7920 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Aug 7, 2017 | An Improper Authentication issue was discovered in ABB VSN300 WiFi Logger Card versions 1.8.15 and prior, and VSN300 WiFi Logger Card for React versions 2.1.3 and prior. By accessing a specific uniform resource locator (URL) on the web server, a malicious user is able to access internal information about status and connected devices without authenticating. | |
| CVE-2017-1000068 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Jul 17, 2017 | TestTrack Server versions 1.0 and earlier are vulnerable to an authentication flaw in the split disablement feature resulting in the ability to disable arbitrary running splits and cause denial of service to clients in the field. | |
| CVE-2016-8951 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Jul 13, 2017 | IBM Emptoris Strategic Supply Management Platform 10.0.0.x through 10.1.1.x is vulnerable to a denial of service attack. An attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the authentication features that could log out users and flood user accounts with emails. IBM X-Force ID: 118838. | |
| CVE-2017-7660 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Jul 7, 2017 | Apache Solr uses a PKI based mechanism to secure inter-node communication when security is enabled. It is possible to create a specially crafted node name that does not exist as part of the cluster and point it to a malicious node. This can trick the nodes in cluster to believe that the malicious node is a member of the cluster. So, if Solr users have enabled BasicAuth authentication mechanism using the BasicAuthPlugin or if the user has implemented a custom Authentication plugin, which does not implement either "HttpClientInterceptorPlugin" or "HttpClientBuilderPlugin", his/her servers are vulnerable to this attack. Users who only use SSL without basic authentication or those who use Kerberos are not affected. | |
| CVE-2017-1264 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.00 | Jul 5, 2017 | IBM Security Guardium 10.0 does not prove or insufficiently proves that the actors identity is correct which can lead to exposure of resources or functionality to unintended actors. IBM X-Force ID: 124739. | |
| CVE-2015-2800 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.03 | Jun 8, 2017 | The user authentication module in Huawei Campus switches S5700, S5300, S6300, and S6700 with software before V200R001SPH012 and S7700, S9300, and S9700 with software before V200R001SPH015 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via vectors involving authentication, which trigger an array access violation. | |
| CVE-2017-5237 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.02 | Mar 27, 2017 | Due to a lack of authentication, an unauthenticated user who knows the Eview EV-07S GPS Tracker's phone number can revert the device to a factory default configuration with an SMS command, "RESET!" | |
| CVE-2016-1888 | Hig | 0.49 | 7.5 | 0.01 | Feb 15, 2017 | The telnetd service in FreeBSD 9.3, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 11.0 allows remote attackers to inject arguments to login and bypass authentication via vectors involving a "sequence of memory allocation failures." |
