CVE Catalog

CVE-2006-0684

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Virtual Hosting Control System (VHCS) 2.4.7.1 and earlier, the change_password.php script does not verify the old password when a user changes the password. This allows a remote attacker to change the password without knowing the old one, potentially leading to unauthorized access.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of user account takeover without knowledge of current passwords, which may result in unauthorized access to data and services managed by VHCS.

Recommendation

Immediately update VHCS to a version that fixes the old password verification. If no update is available, implement temporary server-side validation as a workaround.
