CVE-2023-48712Public exploit

Administrator impersonation via mismatched login session state

Published Nov 24, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Incorrect authorization in Warptech Industries Warpgate before 0.9.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain administrator access. The web login API validates a submitted password against the new username while retaining the earlier username in session authentication state. With single-factor authentication, submitting a known administrator name with a wrong password before valid non-admin credentials grants the administrator identity and permissions.
