EspoCRM 5.6.4 is vulnerable to user password hash enumeration. A malicious authenticated attacker can brute-force a user password hash by 1 symbol at a time using specially crafted api/v1/User?filterList filters.

Weakness

The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Espocrm Espocrm 5.6.4 (including) 5.6.4 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Common protection mechanisms include:

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.

  • Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
