CVE-2019-12300: Improper Authentication in Buildbot

May 29, 2019 (updated September 13, 2024)

Buildbot before 1.8.2 and 2.x before 2.3.1 accepts a user-submitted authorization token from OAuth and uses it to authenticate a user. If an attacker has a token allowing them to read the user details of a victim, they can login as the victim.
