The vulnerability CVE-2023-32315 affects all versions of the XMPP server Openfire released since April 2015. It allows an unauthenticated user to access restricted pages in the Openfire Admin Console reserved for administrative users. More than 3,000 servers have been found to be vulnerable, and the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild for over two months. Researchers discovered a potential exploitation method, which allows attackers to gain access to the Openfire Plugins interface and create new admin console user accounts to install a new plugin. The vulnerability poses a significant risk as it could lead to unauthorized access and control over affected systems. Upgrading to the latest available versions, such as 4.6.8, 4.7.5, and 4.8.0, is advised to mitigate the risk.
