CVE-2009-5014
The default quickstart configuration of TurboGears2 (aka tg2) before 2.0.2 has a weak cookie salt, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass repoze.who authentication via a forged authorization cookie, a related issue to CVE-2010-3852.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
