Vulnerabilities > CVE-2011-2082 - Credentials Management vulnerability in Bestpractical RT
Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
The vulnerable-passwords script in Best Practical Solutions RT 3.x before 3.8.12 and 4.x before 4.0.6 does not update the password-hash algorithm for disabled user accounts, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine cleartext passwords, and possibly use these passwords after accounts are re-enabled, via a brute-force attack on the database. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-0009.

It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The 'vulnerable-passwords' script fails to update the password-hash of disabled users, which could enable an attacker to more easily determine plaintext passwords using brute force methods. (CVE-2011-2082) - Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist that an attacker can utilize to execute script code with the user's credentials. (CVE-2011-2083) - A remote, authenticated attacker can read the hashes of former passwords and the ticket correspondence history by accessing a privileged account. (CVE-2011-2084) - Multiple cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities exist which a remote attacker can exploit to hijack user authentication. (CVE-2011-2085) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists if the optional VERP configuration options (VERPPrefix and VERPDomain) are enabled. (CVE-2011-4458) - Groups are not properly disabled, allowing users in disabled groups to gain escalated privileges. (CVE-2011-4459) - A remote, authenticated attacker can inject SQL commands by utilizing access to a privileged account, allowing the disclosure or manipulation of arbitrary data on the back-end database. (CVE-2011-4460) - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows remote attackers to gain privileges or execute a restricted amount of arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-5092) - The DisallowExecuteCode option is not properly implemented and allows a remote, authenticated attacker to bypass intended access restrictions and execute arbitrary code by using access to a privileged account.
