Account takeover via Host header reset poisoning
Published Jul 7, 2025 · Updated Jul 8, 2025
Host header injection in guomaoqiu JobCenter through 7e7b0b2 allows remote attackers to take over accounts through password reset. The password-reset email template calls url_for with _external=True, and the absent SERVER_NAME setting makes Flask build the reset URL from the untrusted HTTP Host header. An attacker must induce a victim to use the poisoned reset link; the malicious host then receives the reset token, enabling the attacker to set a new password.
