CVE-2023-22451
As a workaround, an administrator may reset all passwords in Kiwi TCMS if they think a weak password may have been chosen.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.68%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system. In version 11.6 and prior, when users register new accounts and/or change passwords, there is no validation in place which would prevent them from picking an easy to guess password. This issue is resolved by providing defaults for the `AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS` configuration setting. As of version 11.7, the password can’t be too similar to other personal information, must contain at least 10 characters, can’t be a commonly used password, and can’t be entirely numeric. As a workaround, an administrator may reset all passwords in Kiwi TCMS if they think a weak password may have been chosen.
