CVSS v3.1
9.8
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
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.
