CVE-2022-1715Network attack vector

Account takeover via loose database-password comparison

Published May 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Authentication bypass in FacturaScripts before 2022.07 allows remote attackers to take over accounts through the password-reset form. The newUserPassword() path in Core/App/AppController.php uses PHP's loose equality operator to compare attacker-supplied fsDbPasswd with FS_DB_PASS, allowing automatic type conversion to produce a false match. No prior authentication or user interaction is required; a successful comparison lets the requester reset the selected user's password and assume that account.
