CVE-2008-1393
First published: Thu Mar 20 2008(Updated: )
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.
