USN-6913-1: phpCAS vulnerability

Read Time:30 Second

Filip Hejsek discovered that phpCAS was using HTTP headers to determine
the service URL used to validate tickets. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to gain access to a victim’s account on a
vulnerable CASified service.

This security update introduces an incompatible API change. After applying
this update, third party applications need to be modified to pass in an
additional service base URL argument when constructing the client class.

For more information please refer to the section
“Upgrading 1.5.0 -> 1.6.0” of the phpCAS upgrading document:

Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
