CVE-2022-24947Network attack vector

Account takeover via unvalidated password changes

Published Feb 25, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Apache JSPWiki 2.11.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over accounts through the user profile form. In affected builds, DefaultUserManager.validateProfile accepts a replacement password for an existing account without validating the current password. Exploitation requires a logged-in user to submit an attacker-controlled request, after which the changed password grants control of that account.
