CVE-2023-38257Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated profile disclosure via sequential user identifiers

Published Jul 18, 2023 · Updated Oct 28, 2024

Insecure direct object reference in Iagona ScrutisWeb 2.1.37 and earlier allows remote attackers to read user profiles via HTTP POST. GetUserDetails accepts a sequential idUser integer without enforcing object-level authorization and returns the selected profile, including its login name and encrypted password. No authentication is required, and enumerating identifiers discloses account records; obtaining plaintext credentials additionally depends on a separate cryptographic flaw.
