HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Prosody versions prior to 0.9.9
Description
The issue concerns the mod dialback module, which does not properly generate random values for the secret token used in server-to-server dialback authentication. This weakness makes it easier for attackers to spoof servers via a brute force attack.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 0.9.9, update to version 0.9.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mod dialback module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
