DescriptionCVE.org

4gaBoards is a boards system for realtime project management. Prior to 3.3.8, 4gaBoards is vulnerable to pre-account takeover when registrationEnabled, localRegistrationEnabled, and ssoRegistrationEnabled are enabled and Google, GitHub, Microsoft, or OIDC SSO is configured. The POST /api/register endpoint permits creation of an unverified local account with a victim's email address, and POST /api/access-tokens permits that account to authenticate while isVerified is false. During the victim's first SSO login, server/api/helpers/users/get-create-one-for-github-sso.js, server/api/helpers/users/get-create-one-for-google-sso.js, server/api/helpers/users/get-create-one-for-microsoft-sso.js, and server/api/helpers/users/get-create-one-for-oidc-sso.js find the attacker-controlled account by email and link the verified SSO identity without confirming ownership of the local account. The attacker can retain local-password access to the linked account and obtain the victim's projects, data, and permissions. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.8.

AnalysisAI

Pre-account takeover in 4gaBoards before 3.3.8 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to seize a victim's account before the victim ever logs in, by exploiting the SSO identity-linking logic. An attacker registers an unverified local account using the victim's email address; when the victim subsequently logs in via Google, GitHub, Microsoft, or OIDC SSO, the server locates the attacker's pre-registered account by email and links the verified SSO identity to it without confirming local account ownership, granting the attacker persistent password access to the now-SSO-linked account and all associated projects and data. …
