Contao · Contao · CVE-2019-10641
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Contao versions prior to 3.5.39
Contao versions 4.x prior to 4.7.3
**Description**
The issue is related to a weak password recovery mechanism for forgotten passwords. Additionally, when a user changes their password, existing sessions are not correctly invalidated, which could pose a security risk. This was discovered by security researcher Ali Razzaq.
**Recommendations**
For Contao versions prior to 3.5.39, update to version 3.5.39 or later.
For Contao versions 4.x prior to 4.7.3, update to version 4.7.3 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to password recovery mechanisms and ensuring that sessions are properly invalidated after password changes.
