Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2019-10682 affects django-nopassword versions before 5.0.0. The vulnerability involves the storage of cleartext secrets (login codes) in the database, which could potentially expose sensitive authentication data (AttackerKB, GitHub Commit).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the LoginCode model of django-nopassword where login codes were stored in cleartext in the database before version 5.0.0. The CVSS v3 Base Score is 7.5 (High), with attack vector being Network, requiring no privileges or user interaction (AttackerKB).

Impact

The storage of cleartext secrets in the database could allow attackers with database access to obtain valid login codes, potentially leading to unauthorized access to user accounts. This represents a significant security risk as it violates the principle of not storing sensitive authentication data in cleartext (GitHub Code).

Mitigation and workarounds

The issue was fixed in version 5.0.0 of django-nopassword by removing the storage of codes in the database and implementing a hash-based comparison system instead. Users should upgrade to version 5.0.0 or later to address this vulnerability (GitHub Commit).
