CVE-2020-5222: Use of Hard-coded Credentials

January 30, 2020 (updated February 5, 2020)

Opencast enables a remember-me cookie based on a hash created from the username, password, and an additional system key. This means that an attacker getting access to a remember-me token for one server can get access to all servers which allow log-in using the same credentials without ever needing the credentials.
