Published: 2008-03-19   Modified: 2012-02-12

Description:
Plone CMS 3.0.5, and probably other 3.x versions, places a base64 encoded form of the username and password in the __ac cookie for the admin account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative privileges by sniffing the network.
