CVE-2020-5206 (GCVE-0-2020-5206)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-01-30 21:25 – Updated: 2024-08-04 08:22
VLAI?
Summary
In Opencast before 7.6 and 8.1, using a remember-me cookie with an arbitrary username can cause Opencast to assume proper authentication for that user even if the remember-me cookie was incorrect given that the attacked endpoint also allows anonymous access. This way, an attacker can, for example, fake a remember-me token, assume the identity of the global system administrator and request non-public content from the search service without ever providing any proper authentication. This problem is fixed in Opencast 7.6 and Opencast 8.1
Severity ?
