An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-4106 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wordpress Wordpress. 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-2008-4106/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4106/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4106","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4106/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4106","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-4106","GHSA-gg7f-mrmc-j93p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can take over arbitrary user accounts by exploiting username truncation and password reset logic flaws in WordPress.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress","vendor":"wordpress"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"WordPress before 2.6.2 does not properly handle MySQL warnings about insertion of username strings that exceed the maximum column width of the user_login column, and does not properly handle space characters when comparing usernames, which allows remote attackers to change an arbitrary user's password to a random value by registering a similar username and then requesting a password reset, related to a \"SQL column truncation vulnerability.\" NOTE: the attacker can discover the random password by also exploiting CVE-2008-4107.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4106","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wordpress:wordpress","products":["wordpress:wordpress"],"type":"business_logic","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":17,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4107"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4105"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-09-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Core Interpretation Conflict","id":"CVE-2026-63030","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"WordPress Core Remote File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2026-87902","kev_date_added":"2026-09-25","published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Core SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-60137","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2399","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2400","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can take over arbitrary user accounts by exploiting username truncation and password reset logic flaws in WordPress.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4106/"}
