NocoBase is an open-source low-code platform used by developers and businesses to build applications with minimal programming. It serves a variety of applications including project management, CRM, and inventory systems, providing a flexible and customizable solution. The platform supports integration with other services and databases, making it a versatile tool in digital transformation. Companies leverage NocoBase to accelerate development, improve collaboration, and streamline processes. While it is powerful, it requires careful management to ensure security, particularly regarding user authentication. The ease of initial setup sometimes leaves default credentials vulnerable to exploitation.
The vulnerability involves detection of default login credentials for NocoBase. These credentials are often used to simplify the initial setup but can pose security risks if not changed. Attackers could exploit these default credentials to gain unauthorized access to NocoBase instances. This type of vulnerability underscores the importance of securing installations by changing default settings. By using such a detection scanner, administrators can ensure that these default credentials are not left unchanged. Detecting this vulnerability is crucial for preventing potential security breaches.
The detection targets the login endpoint of NocoBase to identify the presence of default login credentials. It sends a POST request to the restricted API endpoint with the credentials as variables. The scanner confirms access by matching specific response body elements that indicate a successful login. It checks for certain keywords in the JSON response to determine validity. Additionally, the response content type and status code are validated to ensure accurate detection. These technical checks are essential for confirming the security posture related to default credentials.
If exploited by malicious actors, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data and system functions. Attackers may manipulate databases, modify application settings, or use the platform for further attacks. Such breaches carry the potential for data loss, business disruption, and reputational damage. Ensuring that no instance of NocoBase is left with default credentials is crucial to mitigating these risks. Exposed systems could also become entry points for broader network attacks. Effective detection and remediation efforts are vital to maintaining system integrity.
