Weak Password Requirements in fobybus/social-media-skeleton

Valid

Reported on

Aug 15th 2023


Weak password requirements are password policies that are too lax and allow users to create passwords that are easy to guess or crack. This can make it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access to accounts and systems.

It was discovered that the validation takes place only on the client side code and not on the server; this may be easily bypassed by using the proxy tools.

Impact

Data breaches. When attackers are able to gain unauthorized access to accounts and systems, they can steal sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and passwords. Identity theft. Attackers who gain access to personal information can use it to commit identity theft. This can lead to a number of problems, such as opening new accounts in your name, filing fraudulent tax returns, and making unauthorized charges on your credit cards.
