CWE-305
AllowedAuthentication Bypass by Primary Weakness
Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft
The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
300 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 22:01 – Updated: 2023-09-14 18:32A flaw was found in Samba, all versions starting samba 4.5.0 until samba 4.9.15, samba 4.10.10, samba 4.11.2, in the way it handles a user password change or a new password for a samba user. The Samba Active Directory Domain Controller can be configured to use a custom script to check for password complexity. This configuration can fail to verify password complexity when non-ASCII characters are used in the password, which could lead to weak passwords being set for samba users, making it vulnerable to dictionary attacks.

GHSA-HVM9-WC8J-MGRC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-18 18:19 – Updated: 2024-12-18 18:19Impact
An issue with the way OTAPI manages client connections results in stale UUIDs remaining on RemoteClient instances after a player disconnects.
Because of this, if the following conditions are met a player may assume the login state of a previously connected player:
1. The server has UUID login enabled
2. An authenticated player disconnects
3. A subsequent player connects with a modified client that does not send the ClientUUID#68 packet during connection
4. The server assigns the same RemoteClient object that belonged to the originally authenticated player to the newly connected player
Patches
TShock 5.2.1 hotfixes this issue. A more robust fix will be made to OTAPI itself.
Workarounds
Implement a RemoteClient reset event handler in a plugin like so:
public override void Initialize()
{
On.Terraria.RemoteClient.Reset += RemoteClient_Reset;
}
private static void RemoteClient_Reset(On.Terraria.RemoteClient.orig_Reset orig, RemoteClient client)
{
client.ClientUUID = null;
orig(client);
}
