Description
Semaphore UI is a web interface for managing DevOps tools. Prior to 2.18.21, the /api/users/{id}/password endpoint accepts a cross-site request using the authenticated user's semaphore session cookie without CSRF protection or current-password confirmation, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to change an administrator's or another user's password after user interaction. This issue is fixed in version 2.18.21.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can craft a cross‑site request that changes an authenticated user's password without providing a CSRF token or the current password. The vulnerability lies in the /api/users/{id}/password endpoint and allows the attacker to overwrite a target account’s password, effectively hijacking the account and gaining full access to the affected system.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Semaphore UI versions earlier than 2.18.21. The affected product is Semaphore UI (semaphoreui:semaphore).

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.3 classifies the flaw as high severity. No EPSS data is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires an authenticated user to interact with a malicious site to trigger a CSRF request. The attacker does not need to guess or brute‑force the password, and the change is accepted immediately without confirmation or additional checks.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Semaphore UI to version 2.18.21 or later.
  • After updating, reset all administrator and privileged account passwords.
  • Verify that the updated installation now sends a CSRF token on password change requests and requires the current password.
