CVE-2024-1817Network attack vector

Unauthenticated login bypass via trusted is_admin cookie

Published Feb 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

Improper authentication in Demososo DM Enterprise Website Building System 2022.0 through 2022.8 allows remote attackers to bypass login. The dmlogin function in indexDM_load.php trusts an is_admin cookie value of y as proof of authentication instead of validating a session. No credentials or user interaction are required; exploitation yields unauthorized authenticated access, while the public record does not identify additional post-bypass privileges.
