Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-4962 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Puppet Puppet Enterprise. 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-2013-4962/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4962/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4962","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4962/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4962","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g2xg-vq5p-8wvv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Puppet Enterprise","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can modify user passwords without current password verification if they hijack sessions or access unattended workstations.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"puppet_enterprise","vendor":"puppet"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"The reset password page in Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not force entry of the current password, which allows attackers to modify user passwords by leveraging session hijacking, an unattended workstation, or other vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4962","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"puppet:puppet_enterprise","products":["puppet:puppet_enterprise"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4963"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4961"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-08-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2023-2530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2019-10694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2018-11749","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Other in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2021-27020","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5686","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-5716","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-11"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can modify user passwords without current password verification if they hijack sessions or access unattended workstations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4962/"}
