Hard-Coded Key Used For Remember-me Token in OpenCast

Published Jan 30, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Opencast before 7.6 and 8.1 enables a remember-me cookie based on a hash created from the username, password, and an additional system key. This means that an attacker getting access to a remember-me token for one server can get access to all servers which allow log-in using the same credentials without ever needing the credentials. This problem is fixed in Opencast 7.6 and Opencast 8.1
