Descriptions

In NGINX Controller 3.0.0-3.4.0, recovery code required to change a user's password is transmitted and stored in the database in plain text, which allows an attacker who can intercept the database connection or have read access to the database, to request a password reset using the email address of another registered user then retrieve the recovery code.

En NGINX Controller versiones 3.0.0 hasta 3.4.0, el código de recuperación requerido para cambiar la contraseña de un usuario es transmitida y almacenada en la base de datos en texto plano, lo que permite a un atacante, que pueda interceptar la conexión de la base de datos o tener acceso de lectura a la base de datos, solicitar restablecer la contraseña usando la dirección de correo electrónico de otro usuario registrado y entonces recobrar el código de recuperación
