Vulnerability in DotNetNuke could allow access to user profile details

Published: August 02, 2006

Version: 1.0

Maximum Severity Rating: Critical

Background

For the 3.3.3/4.3.3 releases of DotNetNuke, the membership/roles/provider components were significantly overhauled to allow better granularity of control, and to allow us to make a number of enhancements.

Issue Summary

During the process of rewriting the code to extend the Profile component, an authorization issue was introduced that could allow a user (including anonymous users) to access another users profile.
Due to the seriousness of this issue, further details are not available, users of 3.3.3/4.3.3 are recommended to upgrade to 3.3.4/4.3.4.
