CVE-2023-42183
CVSS 3.1 Score 5.3 of 10 (medium)
Details
Summary
CVE-2023-42183 is a vulnerability affecting the lockss-daemon, also known as the Classic LOCKSS Daemon, before version 1.77.3. This issue arises due to the daemon's failure to properly perform post-Unicode normalization, allowing potential bypass of intended access restrictions. Specifically, when the character U+1FEF (a reverse solidus) is present, it may be converted into a backtick, thereby circumventing intended restrictions. This could lead to unauthorized access or other security concerns. It is recommended that users upgrade to the latest version of the lockss-daemon to mitigate this risk.
