What is CVE-2024-48928?

Piwigo, an open-source photo gallery application, is vulnerable due to the way it handles the secret_key configuration parameter during installation. In versions prior to 15.0.0, the key is generated using MD5(RAND()), which provides inadequate randomness (only 30 bits). This low entropy allows attackers to feasibly brute-force the secret key within approximately one hour. Compromised keys can lead to successful CSRF token validation, substantially increasing the risk of unauthorized access to user sessions and sensitive data. While the impact is somewhat limited due to additional security measures, such as incorporating user credentials into the auto login key and session keys, remediation is necessary, and users are strongly advised to upgrade to version 15.0.0 or later.

Human OS v1.0:
