CVE-2023-34240Network attack vector

Account compromise via backend password-policy bypass

Published Jun 27, 2023 · Updated Nov 27, 2024

Weak password requirements in FIT2CLOUD CloudExplorer Lite before 1.2.0 allow remote attackers to compromise accounts by guessing passwords. The backend password-change handler accepts a new password identical to the old password or only one character long after client-side checks are bypassed. An account holder must first set such a password; a remote attacker can then guess it and gain that account's access.
