Account compromise via unenforced password strength
Published Dec 22, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Weak password requirements in PHPGurukul Online Notes Sharing System 1.0 allow remote attackers to target accounts via password guessing. The signup.php registration handler accepts a one-character password without enforcing a minimum length, complexity rule, or common-password restriction. Compromise requires an account holder to select a guessable password; the flaw does not disclose credentials or bypass authentication.
