Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-01-03 13:15 - Updated: 2025-06-18 16:15
Summary
A host header injection vulnerability exists in the NPM package @perfood/couch-auth versions <= 0.20.0. By sending a specially crafted host header in the forgot password request, it is possible to send password reset links to users which, once clicked, lead to an attacker-controlled server and thus leak the password reset token. This may allow an attacker to reset other users' passwords and take over their accounts.

Al enviar un encabezado de host especialmente manipulado en la solicitud de contrase\u00f1a olvidada, es posible enviar enlaces de restablecimiento de contrase\u00f1a a los usuarios que, una vez que se hace clic en ellos, conducen a un servidor controlado por el atacante y, por lo tanto, filtran el token de restablecimiento de contrase\u00f1a. Esto puede permitir que un atacante restablezca las contrase\u00f1as de otros usuarios y se apodere de sus cuentas."
