Account takeover via attacker-chosen reset key
Published Feb 2, 2026 · Updated Feb 2, 2026
Improper password reset in Cozmoslabs Profile Builder before 3.15.2 allows remote attackers to take over any account by username. The reset flow accepts an attacker-supplied user_pass value during lost-password initiation, then treats that value as the reset key in a follow-up request. No authentication or victim interaction is required; knowledge of an administrator username is enough to replace its password and obtain that account’s privileges.
