AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in the /cas/login endpoint of sso-master v1.0.0 permits attackers to authenticate without providing a valid password by sending a specially crafted POST request. This bypass allows unauthorized users to gain access to the application, potentially exposing sensitive data and permitting further malicious actions. The flaw is a direct weakness in the authentication logic and represents an authentication bypass (CWE-287, CWE-284).

Affected Systems

sso-master version 1.0.0 is affected, specifically the /cas/login component. No vendor or product list is provided beyond the sso-master application.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability appears to be exploitable remotely via the network, as attackers only need to send a POST request to the vulnerable endpoint. Because the EPSS score is < 1% and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, there is no reported exploit pressure data. The CVSS score of 9.8 indicates critical severity, implying a high risk of confidentiality and integrity compromise if the flaw is used. No detailed exploitation guide is publicly documented, but the described request can be constructed by an attacker to gain unauthorized access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and deploy a patched release of sso-master that corrects the authentication check in the /cas/login endpoint.
  • If a patch is not immediately available, restrict access to the /cas/login endpoint to trusted IP ranges or remove the endpoint from public exposure.
  • Implement additional authentication enforcement, such as mandatory password verification or multi‑factor authentication, and review the input validation logic to ensure no forged requests are accepted.
