Low risk42th percentile - higher than 42% of all known CVEs
Summary
In HotelDruid 3.0.0 and 3.0.7, the unauthenticated database-setup endpoint creadb.php can be reached before setup completion, causing a race condition during database creation. Sending many concurrent requests can disclose the administrator username, password hash, and salt, and leave the setup partially initialized, preventing login and requiring reinstallation.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes exposure of sensitive administrator credentials and a denial of service that blocks system access, requiring reinstallation and causing service downtime.
Recommendation
Upgrade HotelDruid to version 3.0.8 or later immediately. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to the creadb.php endpoint to trusted IP addresses only.

Original NVD description (English source)
In HotelDruid 3.0.0 and 3.0.7, the unauthenticated database-setup endpoint creadb.php can be reached before setup is completed and performs database creation without locking. By sending many concurrent requests, an attacker can trigger a race condition during which verbose SQL error messages disclose the administrator username, password hash, and salt. The same race leaves the setup partially initialized, so the administrator can no longer log in with the credentials set during installation, resulting in a denial of service that requires reinstallation to recover. Remote exploitation additionally requires the installation to allow non-localhost access. The vulnerability was fixed in version 3.0.8.
