Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) Electronic Protest Docketing System (EPDS) and the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) Electronic Docketing System (EDS). The issue is that the systems do not authenticate password change requests made to the '/update-profile/N' API endpoint.

Because of this lack of authentication, a remote attacker who is not logged in or authorized can change the password of any user arbitrarily.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have severe impacts because an attacker can remotely change any user's password without authentication.

  • Unauthorized access to user accounts.
  • Potential loss of control over sensitive information or system functions tied to user accounts.
  • Compromise of system integrity and confidentiality.
