Account exposure via weak password acceptance
Published Jun 27, 2023 · Updated Dec 3, 2024
Weak password enforcement in FIT2CLOUD CloudExplorer Lite before 1.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to set passwords without complexity. The resetPwd method in BaseUserServiceImpl accepted newPassword and stored its MD5 digest without checking length, character classes, whitespace, or reuse. Existing account access is required; the accepted weak credential exposes that account to password guessing without directly increasing its privileges.
