Account-data exposure via one-character password acceptance
Published Apr 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Weak password requirements in SmartOffice through 20240405 allow remote attackers to expose account data through Main.aspx. Main.aspx accepts 1 in both the New Password and Confirm Password fields without enforcing minimum password strength. No authentication or user interaction is required, but exploitation is difficult and the published assessment limits impact to confidentiality.
