Account compromise via unrestricted password length
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Weak password requirements in IKUS Software Rdiffweb before 2.4.2 allow attackers to compromise accounts through password guessing. The administrative UserForm and self-service UserPasswordForm accept new passwords without minimum- or maximum-length validation. Exploitation requires a target account whose owner selected a weak password; guessing it grants the attacker that account's Rdiffweb access.
