NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cakephp package and not the cakephp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

CakePHP Authentication is an authentication plugin for CakePHP that can also be used in PSR-7 based applications. Versions before 2.11.2, from 3.0.0 through 3.3.6, and from 4.0.0 through 4.2.0 allow authentication bypass and potential CPU or memory exhaustion when CookieAuthenticator uses unencrypted, forgeable legacy tokens. This issue is fixed in versions 2.11.2, 3.3.7, and 4.2.1.
