Account takeover via poisoned password-reset links
Published Mar 16, 2026 · Updated Mar 16, 2026
Host header poisoning in Raytha CMS before 1.4.6 allows remote attackers to take over accounts through password-reset emails. The password-reset flow builds the emailed absolute URL from untrusted X-Forwarded-Host or Host request headers instead of the configured WebsiteUrl. Exploitation requires the victim's email address and a click on the emailed link, which sends the reset token to an attacker-controlled domain.
