CVE-2019-12300
If an attacker has a token allowing them to read the user details of a victim, they can login as the victim.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Buildbot before 1.8.2 and 2.x before 2.3.1 accepts a user-submitted authorization token from OAuth and uses it to authenticate a user. If an attacker has a token allowing them to read the user details of a victim, they can login as the victim.
