The Embedthis HTTP library, and Appweb versions before 7.0.3, have a logic flaw related to the authCondition function in http/httpLib.c. With a forged HTTP request, it is possible to bypass authentication for the form and digest login types.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
