Credential interception via unencrypted authentication forms
Published Jun 27, 2023 · Updated Dec 4, 2024
Cleartext credential exposure in CMSEasy 7.0.0 allows attackers to intercept user and administrator passwords during form submission. The registration, user-login, and administrator-login routes submit credential fields without encrypting the form data. Attackers must be able to observe network traffic between a user and the server; the reported consequence is disclosure of credentials entered into those forms.
