CVE-2024-53552Network attack vector

Account takeover via unconstrained password-reset links

Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Dec 11, 2024

Weak password recovery in CrushFTP 10 before 10.8.3 and 11 before 11.2.3 allows remote attackers to take over user accounts. The password-reset email workflow permits a crafted link whose reset URL domain is not adequately constrained; published material does not identify the responsible function. Exploitation requires an end user to click the link, after which that user's account is compromised.
