Account takeover via tokenless password-change request

Published May 10, 2026 · Updated May 10, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in OpenCart 3.0.3.7 allows attackers to change an authenticated user's password via account/password requests. The account password controller accepts password and confirm POST fields and calls editPassword without validating an anti-CSRF token. The victim must have an authenticated customer session and submit the crafted form; the new password then enables account takeover.
