TitleFantomas42 django-blog-zinnia 881101a9d1d455b2fc581d6f4ae0947cdd8126c6 CWE-312 Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
DescriptionFantomas42/django-blog-zinnia stores the raw protected-entry password in Django session data after a visitor unlocks an entry. The same session value is later compared against the entry password. If a deployment uses readable client-side sessions or if session storage, logs, or backups are exposed, protected-entry passwords can be recovered from session data. The safer design is to store only an entry-scoped authorization marker or keyed digest.
