    CVE-2025-43712 (GCVE-0-2025-43712)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2025-07-25 00:00 – Updated: 2025-08-04 11:38 Disputed
    VLAI
    Summary
    JHipster before v.8.9.0 allows privilege escalation via a modified authorities parameter. Upon registering in the JHipster portal and logging in as a standard user, the authorities parameter in the response from the api/account endpoint contains the value ROLE_USER. By manipulating the authorities parameter and changing its value to ROLE_ADMIN, the privilege is successfully escalated to an Admin level. This allowed the access to all admin-related functionalities in the application. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because there is no privilege escalation in the context of the JHipster backend (the report only demonstrates that, after using JHipster to generate an application, one can make a non-functional admin screen visible in the front end of that application).

    CVE-2015-20110 (GCVE-0-2015-20110)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2023-10-31 00:00 – Updated: 2024-09-06 18:28
    VLAI
    Summary
    JHipster generator-jhipster before 2.23.0 allows a timing attack against validateToken due to a string comparison that stops at the first character that is different. Attackers can guess tokens by brute forcing one character at a time and observing the timing. This of course drastically reduces the search space to a linear amount of guesses based on the token length times the possible characters.

    CVE-2019-16303 (GCVE-0-2019-16303)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2019-09-13 23:43 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:10
    VLAI
    Summary
    A class generated by the Generator in JHipster before 6.3.0 and JHipster Kotlin through 1.1.0 produces code that uses an insecure source of randomness (apache.commons.lang3 RandomStringUtils). This allows an attacker (if able to obtain their own password reset URL) to compute the value for all other password resets for other accounts, thus allowing privilege escalation or account takeover.
    Severity
    No CVSS data available.

    CVE-2025-43712 (GCVE-0-2025-43712)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-07-25 00:00 – Updated: 2025-08-04 11:38 Disputed
    VLAI
    Summary
    JHipster before v.8.9.0 allows privilege escalation via a modified authorities parameter. Upon registering in the JHipster portal and logging in as a standard user, the authorities parameter in the response from the api/account endpoint contains the value ROLE_USER. By manipulating the authorities parameter and changing its value to ROLE_ADMIN, the privilege is successfully escalated to an Admin level. This allowed the access to all admin-related functionalities in the application. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because there is no privilege escalation in the context of the JHipster backend (the report only demonstrates that, after using JHipster to generate an application, one can make a non-functional admin screen visible in the front end of that application).

    CVE-2015-20110 (GCVE-0-2015-20110)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-10-31 00:00 – Updated: 2024-09-06 18:28
    VLAI
    Summary
    JHipster generator-jhipster before 2.23.0 allows a timing attack against validateToken due to a string comparison that stops at the first character that is different. Attackers can guess tokens by brute forcing one character at a time and observing the timing. This of course drastically reduces the search space to a linear amount of guesses based on the token length times the possible characters.
    Severity
    No CVSS data available.

    CVE-2019-16303 (GCVE-0-2019-16303)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-09-13 23:43 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:10
    VLAI
    Summary
    A class generated by the Generator in JHipster before 6.3.0 and JHipster Kotlin through 1.1.0 produces code that uses an insecure source of randomness (apache.commons.lang3 RandomStringUtils). This allows an attacker (if able to obtain their own password reset URL) to compute the value for all other password resets for other accounts, thus allowing privilege escalation or account takeover.
