CVE-2017-11365: Empty passwords validation issue
(updated )
Validating a user password with a UserPassword
constraint but with no NotBlank
constraint passes without any error (the empty password would not be compared with the user password). Note that you should always be explicit and add a NotBlank
constraint, but as it worked before without, it’s considered as a backward compatibility break and a security issue.
