How to Fix CVE-2024-34914

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Php censor/php censor dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

php-censor/php-censor fixed: 2.1.5 
Upgrade php-censor/php-censor to 2.1.5
php-censor/php-censor fixed: 2.0.13 
Upgrade php-censor/php-censor to 2.0.13
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for php-censor/php-censor

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-34914, inspect your project dependencies for Php censor/php censor:

inspect dependencies for php-censor/php-censor

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Php censor/php censor in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.1.5), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm, where the product uses a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm or protocol. In Php censor/php censor, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

php-censor v2.1.4 and fixed in v.2.1.5 was discovered to utilize a weak hashing algorithm for its remember_key value. This allows attackers to bruteforce to bruteforce the remember_key value to gain access to accounts that have checked "remember me" when logging in.
