Weak passwords via bypassed complexity validation
Published Aug 1, 2023 · Updated Oct 21, 2024
Improper password validation in PHPJabbers Time Slots Booking Calendar 3.3 allows remote authenticated users to set one-character passwords. The account password-change handler accepts a modified HTTP password parameter without enforcing the advertised complexity rules server-side. Authenticated account access and request interception are required; the direct consequence is acceptance of a weak account password.
