So this endpoint simply allowed setting up a new password with a POST request for the specified email address and he was able to guess the email .. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- zaroth 6y agoThat’s how I read it as well, almost too absurd to believe. SetPassword and the parameters to the function are just username and newPassword. I guess they assumed there was authentication happening before the request would even be served (pre-existing session).
- loa_in_ 6y agoA good example of how security by obscurity can fail. Just because there's no url to an endpoint exposed doesn't mean it shouldn't be hardened
- judge2020 6y agoI think they assumed it was already hardened by requiring authentication, but didn't do any testing (or were unaware of this endpoint being a thing in the software they use).
