CVE-2009-1283
CWE-310Published: April 9, 2009· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
glFusion before 1.1.3 performs authentication with a user-provided password hash instead of a password, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges by obtaining the hash and using it in the glf_password cookie, aka "User Masquerading." NOTE: this can be leveraged with a separate SQL injection vulnerability to steal hashes.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2009-1283 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2009-1283. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
