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-2015-8626 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mediawiki Mediawiki. 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-2015-8626/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8626/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8626","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8626/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8626","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8626","GHSA-2vh8-pg5g-9p42"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MediaWiki","requires_auth":"none","summary":"MediaWiki generates weak temporary passwords, allowing attackers to brute-force user accounts and gain unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mediawiki","vendor":"mediawiki"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"The User::randomPassword function in MediaWiki before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, and 1.26.x before 1.26.1 generates passwords smaller than $wgMinimalPasswordLength, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.","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":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8626","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mediawiki:mediawiki","products":["mediawiki:mediawiki"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8627"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8625"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-37303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29906","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28205","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28206","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28209","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-36126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"MediaWiki generates weak temporary passwords, allowing attackers to brute-force user accounts and gain unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8626/"}
