Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-22451 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: kiwitcms Kiwi. 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-2023-22451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22451/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-22451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22451/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-22451","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-496x-2jqf-hp7g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Test management system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Kiwi TCMS allows weak passwords by default, enabling attackers to guess credentials and take over user accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"kiwi_tcms","vendor":"kiwitcms"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-521","name":"Weak Password Requirements"}],"description":"Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system. In version 11.6 and prior, when users register new accounts and/or change passwords, there is no validation in place which would prevent them from picking an easy to guess password. This issue is resolved by providing defaults for the `AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS` configuration setting. As of version 11.7, the password can’t be too similar to other personal information, must contain at least 10 characters, can’t be a commonly used password, and can’t be entirely numeric. As a workaround, an administrator may reset all passwords in Kiwi TCMS if they think a weak password may have been chosen.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Weak password requirements in Kiwi TCMS","id":"CVE-2023-22451","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Improper Input Validation in kenny2automate","id":"CVE-2023-22452"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in WebAccess/SCADA","id":"CVE-2023-22450"},"products":["Kiwi"],"published":"2023-01-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Kiwi TCMS has command injection vulnerability in changelog.yml CI workflow","id":"CVE-2023-30628","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-24"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Kiwi TCMS's misconfigured HTTP headers allow stored XSS execution with Firefox","id":"CVE-2023-36809","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-05"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Stored cross site scripting (XSS) via unrestricted file upload in Kiwi TCMS","id":"CVE-2023-33977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-06"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"kiwitcms vulnerable to stored XSS via unrestricted files upload","id":"CVE-2023-32686","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-27"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Kiwi TCMS unrestricted file upload vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-30613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-24"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Stored cross site scripting via SVG file upload in Kiwi TCMS","id":"CVE-2023-27489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Kiwi TCMS has no protection against brute-force attacks on login page","id":"CVE-2023-25156","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-15"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-10","vendors":["kiwitcms"]},"summary":"Kiwi TCMS allows weak passwords by default, enabling attackers to guess credentials and take over user accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22451/"}
