CVE-2017-18179 describes a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Progress Sitefinity 9.1, where the "wrap_access_token" remains valid indefinitely, even after password changes or session termination. This token is also insecurely transmitted as a GET parameter. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (HIGH), an attacker could exploit this with low complexity over the network to achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While no public exploits, Metasploit modules, or Nuclei templates are available, and there's minimal community discussion, the vulnerability's severity and ease of exploitation warrant attention. This issue was addressed in Sitefinity 10.1.
