CVE-2020-5206
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (10)—
In Opencast before 7.6 and 8.1, using a remember-me cookie with an arbitrary username can cause Opencast to assume proper authentication for that user even if the remember-me cookie was incorrect given that the attacked endpoint also allows anonymous access. This way, an attacker can, for example, fake a remember-me token, assume the identity of the global system administrator and request non-public content from the search service without ever providing any proper authentication. This problem is fixed in Opencast 7.6 and Opencast 8.1

De esta forma, un atacante puede, por ejemplo, falsificar un token de remember-me, asumir la identidad del administrador del sistema global y solicitar contenido no público desde el servicio de búsqueda sin proporcionar una autenticación adecuada.
