{"id":"CVE-2023-32699","aliases":["EUVD-2023-36926","GHSA-qffq-8gf8-mhq7"],"status":"published","title":"MeterSphere denial of service vulnerability","description":"MeterSphere is an open source continuous testing platform. Version 2.9.1 and prior are vulnerable to denial of service. ​The `checkUserPassword` method is used to check whether the password provided by the user matches the password saved in the database, and the `CodingUtil.md5` method is used to encrypt the original password with MD5 to ensure that the password will not be saved in plain text when it is stored. If a user submits a very long password when logging in, the system will be forced to execute the long password MD5 encryption process, causing the server CPU and memory to be exhausted, thereby causing a denial of service attack on the server. This issue is fixed in version 2.10.0-lts with a maximum password length.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":6.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","level":"medium","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-09","score":0.00587,"percentile":0.48334,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-770"],"published":"2023-05-30T18:59:26Z","modified":"2026-10-28T10:38:47Z","products":[{"vendor":"metersphere","product":"metersphere"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/security/advisories/GHSA-qffq-8gf8-mhq7","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM","x_transferred","Exploit","Vendor Advisory","advisory"]},{"url":"https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/commit/c59e381d368990214813085a1a4877c5ef865411","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Patch","fix"]},{"url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/32xxx/CVE-2023-32699.json","tags":["advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-32699","tags":["advisory"]}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2023-32699","title":"MeterSphere denial of service vulnerability","description":"MeterSphere is an open source continuous testing platform.
