CVE-2008-1393

Plone CMS 3.0.5, and probably other 3.x versions, places a base64 encoded form of the username and password in the __ac cookie for the admin account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative privileges by sniffing the network.

CVE-2008-1394

Plone CMS before 3 places a base64 encoded form of the username and password in the __ac cookie for all user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by sniffing the network.

CVE-2008-1396

Plone CMS 3.x uses invariant data (a client username and a server secret) when calculating an HMAC-SHA1 value for an authentication cookie, which makes it easier for remote attackers to gain permanent access to an account by sniffing the network.

CVE-2008-1395

Plone CMS does not record users' authentication states, and implements the logout feature solely on the client side, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to reuse a logged-out session.
