Description

Serendipity before 2.6.1 contains an authentication context confusion vulnerability where password validation and session loading operate independently without ensuring both use the same user record. An authenticated Editor can create a username collision with an Administrator account and obtain administrative privileges by logging in with their own password while the session loads the Administrator's account data.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
