Account takeover via flushed password-reset link
Published May 13, 2025 · Updated May 14, 2025
Information disclosure in OXID eShop 6.0 through 6.5 and 7.0 with Smarty allows remote attackers to view personalized user data. Smarty flushes the output buffer rather than discarding it when a CMS template throws a syntax-error exception, exposing content already generated for a plain HTML email. Exploitation requires a syntax error in oxupdatepassinfoplainemail; the exposed password-reset link permits an account password change without notice.
