Overview

plone is a user friendly and extensible Content Management System running on top of Python and Zope.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. It places a base64 encoded form of the username and password in the __ac cookie for all user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by sniffing the network.
