CVE-2008-2682 describes an authentication bypass vulnerability in Realm CMS 2.3 and earlier, specifically within the RealmAdmin/login.asp component. Remote attackers can gain unauthorized access to administrative pages by manipulating specific cookies, such as cUserRole, cUserName, and cUserID. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its low attack complexity (AC:L) and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:P/I:P/A:P). While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code is publicly available via ExploitDB (EDB-5766), though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this decade-old flaw.
