Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Dotclear versions prior to 2.6.3

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via an empty password in an XML-RPC request. This is due to a flaw in the dcXmlRpc::setUser method in nc/core/class.dc.xmlrpc.php.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.6.3, update to version 2.6.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the XML-RPC endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
