Jbc · Jbc Explorer · CVE-2007-5913
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
JBC Explorer versions 7.20 RC1 and earlier
**Description**
The issue concerns a lack of authentication requirement in a specific module, allowing remote attackers to perform certain actions without proper authorization. Specifically, attackers can delete a critical file named auth.inc.php by manipulating the `suppr` parameter, and then re-create this file with malicious contents that define a new account name and password for JBC Explorer by using the `login` and `password` parameters.
**Recommendations**
For JBC Explorer versions 7.20 RC1 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the auth.php module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `suppr`, `login`, and `password` parameters in the affected module until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
