What is CVE-2017-17707?
CVE-2017-17707 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in n/a, published on 31 Jul 2018. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Due to missing authorization checks, any authenticated user is able to list, upload, or delete attachments to password safe entries in Pleasant Password Server before 7.8.3. To perform those actions on an entry, the user needs to know the corresponding "CredentialId" value, which uniquely identifies a password safe entry. Since "CredentialId" values are implemented as GUIDs, they are hard to guess. However, if for example an entry's owner grants read-only access to a malicious user, the value gets exposed to the malicious user. The same holds true for temporary grants.
Weakness: CWE-862
