CVE-2011-4214
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedOneOrZero Action & Information Management System (AIMS) 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain administrator privileges via a crafted oozimsrememberme cookie.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceOneOrZero AIMS 2.7.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where remote attackers can craft a malicious 'oozimsrememberme' cookie to bypass login validation and obtain administrator privileges. The application's remember-me functionality fails to properly validate the cookie contents, allowing arbitrary privilege escalation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm the OneOrZero AIMS versionLocate the application version information typically found in the About page, footer, or admin panel of the OneOrZero AIMS installationAffected if The installed version is exactly 2.7.0
-
Identify if remember-me functionality existsCheck if the application has a remember-me login feature - look for the 'oozimsrememberme' cookie being set after login or check the login form for remember-me optionsAffected if The remember-me feature is present in the application
-
Verify cookie handling code existsExamine the authentication code that processes the 'oozimsrememberme' cookie - look for the function that validates this cookie during session initializationAffected if The application processes the 'oozimsrememberme' cookie without proper cryptographic validation
A user is affected if they are running OneOrZero AIMS version 2.7.0 with the remember-me functionality enabled, as the vulnerability requires the presence of the flawed cookie validation mechanism.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a patched version of OneOrZero AIMS that properly validates the remember-me cookie. If no patch is available, disable the affected application and implement alternative authentication controls.
