CVE-2019-3787: UAA defaults email address to an insecure domain
Severity
High
Vendor
Cloud Foundry Foundation
Affected Cloud Foundry Products and Versions
- UAA Release (OSS)
- All versions prior to v73.0.0
Description
Cloud Foundry UAA, versions prior to 73.0.0, falls back to appending “unknown.org” to a user’s email address when one is not provided and the user name does not contain an @ character. This domain is held by a private company, which leads to attack vectors including password recovery emails sent to a potentially fraudulent address. This would allow the attacker to gain complete control of the user’s account.
Mitigation
Users of affected products are strongly encouraged to follow the mitigations below. The Cloud Foundry project recommends upgrading the following releases:
- UAA Release (OSS)
- Upgrade All versions to v73.0.0 or greater
