Weak Password Requirements Pre-CVE
Found by Aikido Intel before public disclosure or CVE publication.

42

Medium Risk

This Affects:

GOgithub.com/rancher/webhook
0.0.1 - 0.8.4
Fixed in 0.9.0

TL;DR

Affected versions of this package allow creating or updating a user password through the User Public API without preventing the password from matching the username. This behavior weakens basic account-security expectations, since a password identical to the username is trivial to guess and significantly increases the risk of unauthorized access. Proper validation should enforce a minimum level of password uniqueness and reject credentials that reuse the username.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
