SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can define a malicious password reset page for
Dotclear, in order to obtain a password entered by a victim.
Impacted products: Dotclear.
Severity: 2/4.
Creation date: 05/10/2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The admin/auth.php script of Dotclear generates the url of the
