Chavara Family Welfare Centre Chavara Matrimony Site | v2.0
How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability exists due to an issue in the OTP (One-Time Password) mechanism of the Chavara Matrimony Site v2.0. The authentication module fails to verify the integrity of user-supplied requests adequately. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to the server, potentially bypassing the OTP authentication. This breach allows the attacker to impersonate legitimate users, potentially leading to a full system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request, with the “malicious_payload” potentially containing a crafted request that exploits the vulnerability.
POST /chavara/authenticate/otp HTTP/1.1
Host: chavara.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "otp": "malicious_payload" }Mitigation Recommendations
To mitigate this vulnerability, apply the vendor-provided patch as soon as possible. This patch addresses the flaw in the OTP mechanism, thereby preventing potential exploitation. Until the patch can be applied, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure. These tools can help detect and prevent malicious requests from reaching your application, providing a layer of security against this and other similar vulnerabilities. It is recommended to regularly update your systems and software to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
