Descriptions

Craft CMS through 3.7.36 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker, who knows at least one valid username, to reset the account's password and take over the account by providing a crafted HTTP header to the application while using the password reset functionality. Specifically, the attacker must send X-Forwarded-Host to the /index.php?p=admin/actions/users/send-password-reset-email URI. NOTE: the vendor's position is that a customer can already work around this by adjusting the configuration (i.e., by not using the default configuration).

Craft CMS versiones hasta 3.7.36, permite a un atacante remoto no autenticado, que conoce al menos un nombre de usuario válido, restablecer la contraseña de la cuenta y tomar el control de la cuenta proporcionando un encabezado HTTP diseñado a la aplicación mientras es usada la funcionalidad password reset. En concreto, el atacante debe enviar X-Forwarded-Host al URI /index.php?p=admin/actions/users/send-password-reset-email. NOTA: la posición del proveedor es que un cliente ya puede mitigar esto al ajustar la configuración (es decir, no usando la configuración por defecto)

Craft CMS version 3.7.36 suffers from a password reset poisoning vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker who knows valid email addresses or account names of Craft CMS backend users is able to manipulate the password reset functionality in a way that the registered users of the CMS receive password reset emails containing a malicious password reset link.
