Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Cloud Foundry Runtime cf-release versions v209 or earlier, UAA Standalone versions 2.2.6 or earlier, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry Runtime 1.4.5 or earlier, the change_email form in UAA is vulnerable to a CSRF attack. This allows an attacker to trigger an email change for a user logged into a Cloud Foundry instance via a malicious link.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability allows attackers to take control of a user's account by changing their email address, which can lead to further attacks on the organization's infrastructure.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to newer versions of Cloud Foundry Runtime and UAA that mitigate this vulnerability. Consider enabling external authentication mechanisms such as SAML or LDAP.
