CVE-2024-45298Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Disabled-account reentry via unchecked password reset

Published Sep 18, 2024 · Updated Sep 18, 2024

Authentication bypass in Requarks Wiki.js 2.5.303 allows remote authenticated users to regain disabled-account access via password reset. The password-reset paths in server/models/users.js generate tokens and change passwords without checking whether the account is active. SMTP email support and control of the disabled account's mailbox are required; restored permissions last until logout but can be regained through another reset.
