An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2002-1656 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1656/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1656/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-1656","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1656/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-1656","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5m3m-59cv-29g8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"X-News server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can authenticate as other users by sniffing MD5 password checksums or accessing the users.txt file, leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"x-news","vendor":"xqus"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"X-News (x_news) 1.1 and earlier allows attackers to authenticate as other users by obtaining the MD5 checksum of the password, e.g. via sniffing or the users.txt data file, and providing it in a cookie.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-12-30","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-12-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"3043","stars":null,"title":"x-news 1.1 - 'users.txt' Remote Password Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1656","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2002"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1657"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1655"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-03-28","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can authenticate as other users by sniffing MD5 password checksums or accessing the users.txt file, leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-1656/"}
