CVE-2015-8368 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability in ntopng (also known as ntop) versions prior to 2.2. An authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by manipulating the user cookie and username parameter during a password reset operation, allowing them to change the login context and gain elevated privileges. With a CVSS score of 6.0, this vulnerability is moderately severe, requiring authentication and moderate attack complexity, but potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the CISA KEV catalog and lacking Metasploit or Nuclei exploits, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-38836) confirms the existence of public exploit code, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
