CVE-2023-5844Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Password-policy bypass via missing reuse check

Published Oct 30, 2023 · Updated Sep 6, 2024

Unverified password change in Pimcore Admin UI Classic Bundle before 1.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to reuse their current password. updateCurrentUserAction verifies the old password and matching new-password fields but does not compare the new value with the current password. Access to an authenticated profile is required, and exploitation preserves a password that the intended reuse restriction should reject.
