What is CVE-2015-8368?
ntopng versions prior to 2.2 are susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, allowing remote authenticated users to manipulate the login context. By exploiting the user cookie and the username parameter within the admin/password_reset.lua file, attackers can gain elevated privileges within the system, potentially compromising sensitive data and functionality.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
