CVE-2020-7245

9.8 criticalEPSS 1.2%

Critical (9.8) in ctfd ctfd. EPSS 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Incorrect username validation in the registration process of CTFd v2.0.0 - v2.2.2 allows an attacker to take over an arbitrary account if the username is known and emails are enabled on the CTFd instance. To exploit the vulnerability, one must register with a username identical to the victim's username, but with white space inserted before and/or after the username. This will register the account with the same username as the victim. After initiating a password reset for the new account, CTFd will reset the victim's account password due to the username collision.
