Account takeover via password changes without re-authentication
Published Jul 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024
Missing re-authentication in YugabyteDB Anywhere allows remote authenticated users on the local network to take over accounts. The legacy change_password and update_profile handlers accepted a new password without validating the current password; the replacement reset_password handler performs that check. Exploitation requires a compromised application session with access to the account-management interface and permits password or email changes that transfer control of the account.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=2.14.0.0 <=2.14.17.0
- Affected versionversion=2.16.0.0 <=2.16.9.0
- Affected versionversion=2.18.0.0 <=2.18.8.1
- Affected versionversion=2.20.0.0 <2.20.5.0
