Detailsinfo

This affects some unknown functionality of the file /profile/{slug}/edit/ of the component Password Change Handler. The manipulation of the argument current_password with an unknown input leads to a unverified password change vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-620. When setting a new password for a user, the product does not require knowledge of the original password, or using another form of authentication. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
blueprintUE is a tool to help Unreal Engine developers. Prior to 4.2.0, the password change form at /profile/{slug}/edit/ does not include a current_password field and does not verify the user's existing password before accepting a new one. Any attacker who obtains a valid authenticated session — through XSS exploitation, session sidejacking over HTTP, physical access to a logged-in browser, or a stolen "remember me" cookie — can immediately change the account password without knowing the original credential, resulting in permanent account takeover. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.0.
