CVE-2015-8368

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ntopng (aka ntop) versions prior to 2.2

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to change the login context and gain privileges. This is achieved via the username parameter to the "admin/password reset.lua" endpoint.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.2, update to version 2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "admin/password reset.lua" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the username parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved.
