Weak Password Policy | Report Data

Analysis:

During Analysis, it was observed that the password policy for user accounts was not implemented properly. Due to this users can create a one-character password.

Also, it was observed that users can use an old password for “Change Password Functionality”. Please refer to the below-provided proof of concept and evidence:

Impact:

Weak passwords can be guessed by malicious users or can be brute forced using a username and password combination.

Recommendation:

The following solutions are recommended to implement a strong password policy:

• Password length must be minimum 8 characters.

• Password must contain characters from the following four categories:

(i) At least one upper case letter: (A – Z)

(ii) At least one lower case letter: (a - z)

(iii) At least one number: (0 - 9)

(iv) At least one Special Characters: !# $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @

• Password history should be maintained in order not to allow the usage of the same password again.

• Password should expire automatically after 45 days or more depending upon the criticality of the application.

Is it possible to mitigate the CSRF by header? If yes why, if No why? If the data is in JSON format, how you will check the CSRF issue and what are the ways of exploitation? Where to implement the CSRF token and why? If the client doesn't want to change the UI or doesn't want to implement the CSRF tokens, and headers then what mitigation you recommended to the client for CSRF?
