CVE-2021-46900

Summary

CVE-2021-46900 refers to a vulnerability in Sympa versions prior to 6.2.62. This issue lies in the software's relying on a cookie parameter for security objectives without ensuring its existence and unpredictability. The cookie plays a dual role as a salt for stored passwords and an XSS protection mechanism. If an attacker manages to intercept and manipulate this cookie, they could gain unauthorized access to user accounts or execute malicious code. Consequently, it is crucial for Sympa users to update their software to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
