CubeCart admin password can be reset without proper check

CVE-2015-6928 · published 11 years ago
Summary

The admin login page in CubeCart versions 5.2.12‑5.2.16 and earlier 6.x releases allows a password reset to be processed without confirming a genuine request. An attacker could change the administrator’s password and take control of the site. Update CubeCart to version 6.0.7 or later (or apply the vendor’s patch) to close the gap.

classes/admin.class.php in CubeCart 5.2.12 through 5.2.16 and 6.x before 6.0.7 does not properly validate that a password reset request was made, which allows remote attackers to change the administrator password via a recovery request with a space character in the validate parameter and the administrator email in the email parameter.
