What is CVE-2024-49370?
Pimcore is a widely used open-source data and experience management platform that faces a serious vulnerability related to its user password management. When a PortalUserObject is linked to a PimcoreUser and has the setting 'Use Pimcore Backend Password' enabled, the password change function within the Portal Profile allows setting a new password without proper hashing. This flaw means that the new password can be exposed in plaintext to anyone with access to the user profile, potentially compromising user accounts. This vulnerability affects versions of the Pimcore portal engine prior to 4.1.7 and 3.1.16, highlighting the necessity for users to upgrade to these versions to mitigate risks.
