Overview
The “DaybydayCRM” enforces weak password requirements in the user update functionality. A user with privileges to update his password could change it to a weak password, such as those with a length of a single character. This may allow an attacker to brute-force users’ passwords with minimal to no computational effort.
Details
DaybydayCRM does not perform any password length validation when changing a password. When a user who has “Update a User” access set in “Roles and Permission” tries to update his password, weak passwords such as single characters like letter “a” are accepted by the application. An attacker could leverage this to guess the user’s password with little effort.
PoC Details
