Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-12 15:31 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:32
VLAI
Details

The password change function at /cgi/admin.cgi does not require the current/old password, which makes the application vulnerable to account takeover. An attacker can use this to forcefully set a new password within the -rsetpass+-aaction+- parameter for a user without knowing the old password, e.g. by exploiting a CSRF issue.

Details

FelixRiddle dev-jobs-handlebars 1.0 uses absolute password-reset (magic) links using the untrusted req.headers.host header and forces the http:// scheme. An attacker who can control the Host header (or exploit a misconfigured proxy/load-balancer that forwards the header unchanged) can cause reset links to point to attacker-controlled domains or be delivered via insecure HTTP, enabling token theft, phishing, and account takeover.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-20 19:26 – Updated: 2025-05-20 19:26

Summary
TYPO3 Unverified Password Change for Backend Users
Details

Problem

The backend user management interface allows password changes without requiring the current password. When an administrator updates their own account or modifies other user accounts via the admin interface, the current password is not requested for verification.

This behavior may lower the protection against unauthorized access in scenarios where an admin session is hijacked or left unattended, as it enables password changes without additional authentication.

Solution

Update to TYPO3 versions 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31 LTS, 13.4.12 LTS that fix the problem described.

[!NOTE] In these versions, administrators are required to verify their identity through step-up authentication (also known as sudo mode) when changing backend user passwords.

Credits

Thanks to the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) of Switzerland for reporting this issue, and to TYPO3 core & security team member Benjamin Franzke for fixing it.

GHSA-3VMR-C5F4-VPXF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-11-22 18:30 – Updated: 2023-11-22 18:30
VLAI
Details

The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 5.1.1. This is due to the plugin using native password reset functionality, with insufficient validation on the password reset function (userpro_process_form). The function uses the plaintext value of a password reset key instead of a hashed value which means it can easily be retrieved and subsequently used. An attacker can leverage CVE-2023-2448 and CVE-2023-2446, or another vulnerability like SQL Injection in another plugin or theme installed on the site to successfully exploit this vulnerability.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-04 09:31 – Updated: 2025-06-04 09:31
VLAI
Details

The Sunshine Photo Cart: Free Client Photo Galleries for Photographers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.11. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user-supplied key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's passwords through the password reset functionality, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

When prompting for a password change, force the user to provide the original password in addition to the new password.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Do not use "forgotten password" functionality. But if you must, ensure that you are only providing information to the actual user, e.g. by using an email address or challenge question that the legitimate user already provided in the past; do not allow the current user to change this identity information until the correct password has been provided.
