CVE-2009-1283 EXPLOIT

6.8
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 1.3% (pctl 69)

Patch early

A public exploit exists.

Description

glFusion before 1.1.3 performs authentication with a user-provided password hash instead of a password, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges by obtaining the hash and using it in the glf_password cookie, aka "User Masquerading." NOTE: this can be leveraged with a separate SQL injection vulnerability to steal hashes.
