NamelessMC is a free, easy to use & powerful website software for Minecraft servers. A user with admincp.core.emails or admincp.users.edit permissions can validate users and an attacker can reset their password. When the account is successfully approved by email the reset code is NULL, but when the account is manually validated by a user with admincp.core.emails or admincp.users.edit permissions then the reset_code will no longer be NULL but empty. An attacker can request http://localhost/nameless/index.php?route=/forgot_password/&c= and reset the password. As a result an attacker may compromise another users password and take over their account. This issue has been addressed in release version 2.1.3 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to reset the password of anonymous users without authorization on the affected LG LED Assistant.

Django before 1.11.27, 2.x before 2.2.9, and 3.x before 3.0.1 allows account takeover. A suitably crafted email address (that is equal to an existing user's email address after case transformation of Unicode characters) would allow an attacker to be sent a password reset token for the matched user account. (One mitigation in the new releases is to send password reset tokens only to the registered user email address.)

strapi before 3.0.0-beta.17.5 mishandles password resets within packages/strapi-admin/controllers/Auth.js and packages/strapi-plugin-users-permissions/controllers/Auth.js.

Shenzhen Guoxin Synthesis image system before 8.3.0 allows unauthorized password resets via the resetPassword API.

Progress Sitefinity 12.1 has a Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for a Forgotten Password because the HTTP Host header is mishandled.

The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 24.0.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Versions prior to 2.1.0 have a business logic vulnerability exists in the password reset mechanism of vikunja/api that allows password reset tokens to be reused indefinitely. Due to a failure to invalidate tokens upon use and a critical logic bug in the token cleanup cron job, reset tokens remain valid forever. This allows an attacker who intercepts a single reset token (via logs, browser history, or phishing) to perform a complete, persistent account takeover at any point in the future, bypassing standard authentication controls. Version 2.1.0 contains a patch for the issue.

A vulnerability was found in OpenRapid RapidCMS 1.3.1 and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file admin/run-movepass.php. The manipulation of the argument password/password2 leads to weak password recovery. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of the patch is 4dff387283060961c362d50105ff8da8ea40bcbe. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-237569 was assigned to this vulnerability.

OpenAEV is an open source platform allowing organizations to plan, schedule and conduct cyber adversary simulation campaign and tests. Starting in version 1.0.0 and prior to version 2.0.13, OpenAEV's password reset implementation contains multiple security weaknesses that together allow reliable account takeover. The primary issue is that password reset tokens do not expire. Once a token is generated, it remains valid indefinitely, even if significant time has passed or if newer tokens are issued for the same account. This allows an attacker to accumulate valid password reset tokens over time and reuse them at any point in the future to reset a victim’s password. A secondary weakness is that password reset tokens are only 8 digits long. While an 8-digit numeric token provides 100,000,000 possible combinations (which is secure enough), the ability to generate large numbers of valid tokens drastically reduces the required number of attempts to guess a valid password reset token. For example, if an attacker generates 2,000 valid tokens, the brute-force effort is reduced to approximately 50,000 attempts, which is a trivially achievable number of requests for an automated attack. (100 requests per second can mathematically find a valid password reset token in 500 seconds.) By combining these flaws, an attacker can mass-generate valid password reset tokens and then brute-force them efficiently until a match is found, allowing the attacker to reset the victim’s password to a value of their choosing. The original password is not required, and the attack can be performed entirely without authentication. This vulnerability enables full account takeover that leads to platform compromise. An unauthenticated remote attacker can reset the password of any registered user account and gain complete access without authentication. Because user email addresses are exposed to other users by design, a single guessed or observed email address is sufficient to compromise even administrator accounts with non-guessable email addresses. This design flaw results in a reliable and scalable account takeover vulnerability that affects any registered user account in the system. Note: The vulnerability does not require OpenAEV to have the email service configured. The exploit does not depend on the target email address to be a real email address. It just needs to be registered to OpenAEV. Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to access sensitive data (such as the Findings section of a simulation), modify payloads executed by deployed agents to compromise all hosts where agents are installed (therefore the Scope is changed). Users should upgrade to version 2.0.13 to receive a fix.

The AppPresser plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 4.2.5. This is due to the plugin generating too weak a reset code, and the code used to reset the password has no attempt or time limit.

Incorrect username validation in the registration process of CTFd v2.0.0 - v2.2.2 allows an attacker to take over an arbitrary account if the username is known and emails are enabled on the CTFd instance. To exploit the vulnerability, one must register with a username identical to the victim's username, but with white space inserted before and/or after the username. This will register the account with the same username as the victim. After initiating a password reset for the new account, CTFd will reset the victim's account password due to the username collision.

An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 16.1 prior to 16.1.6, 16.2 prior to 16.2.9, 16.3 prior to 16.3.7, 16.4 prior to 16.4.5, 16.5 prior to 16.5.6, 16.6 prior to 16.6.4, and 16.7 prior to 16.7.2 in which user account password reset emails could be delivered to an unverified email address.

The AdForest theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.6. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password through the adforest_reset_password() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

The Build App Online plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to account takeover due to a weak password reset mechanism in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.22. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary users by guessing an 4-digit numeric reset code.

An issue was discovered in imonnit.com (2025-04-24) allowing malicious actors to gain escalated privileges via crafted password reset to take over arbitrary user accounts.
