CVE-2005-0408

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CitrusDB versions 0.3.6 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges by calculating the MD5 checksum of the user name combined with the "boogaadeeboo" string, which is hard-coded in the $hidden hash variable. This is due to the generation of easily predictable MD5 hashes of the user name for the id hash cookie.

Recommendations For CitrusDB versions 0.3.6 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of the id hash cookie until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive areas of the application to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the $hidden hash variable in authentication processes until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
