CVE-2005-3435
admin_news.php in Archilles Newsworld up to 1.3.0 allows attackers to bypass authentication by obtaining the password hash for another user, for example through another Newsworld vulnerability, and specifying the hash in the pwd argument.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.33%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
