CVE-2020-26515Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Credential disclosure through predictable cookie encryption

Published Jun 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Insufficiently protected credentials in Intland codeBeamer ALM 10.x through 10.1.SP4 allow remote attackers to recover saved credentials. CookieUtils passes an empty salt to SavedUserCredentials.getToken, and a delimiter mismatch converts the MAC-address value into an empty DES key. Exploitation requires access to a victim's CB_LOGIN persistent-login cookie and reveals the victim's plaintext username and password.
