2+
=======================================================
3+
4+
The Sympa Community
5+
2024-12-16 (Initial version)
6+
7+
Synopsis
8+
--------
9+
10+
A fix is available for improper input validation on generic SSO login feature
11+
of Sympa web interface.
12+
13+
Systems Affected
14+
----------------
15+
16+
- All versions of Sympa prior to 6.2.74.
17+
18+
Problem Description
19+
-------------------
20+
21+
A flaw was discovered in the generic SSO functionality of Sympa web interface
22+
in a specific setting that could allow an attacker to bypass authentication
23+
and log in with an arbitrary e-mail address.
24+
25+
Impact
26+
------
27+
28+
Attacker may bypass authentication and log in with an arbitrary e-mail address.
29+
30+
Workarounds
31+
-----------
32+
33+
* If the web interface, `wwsympa` service, is not available at all,
34+
you are not affected by this problem.
35+
36+
* If you do not enable generic SSO, i.e. `auth.conf` does not contain
37+
`generic_sso` paragraph, you are not affected by this problem.
38+
39+
* Even if generic SSO is enabled, if you don't set `force_email_verify` to
40+
`1`, you are not affected by this problem.
41+
42+
Solution
43+
--------
44+
45+
* Upgrade Sympa to version 6.2.74 or later.
46+
47+

49+
50+
* Binary distributions: Check release information by distributors.

52+
Check "[Upgrading Sympa](https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/upgrade.html)"
