Account takeover via space-only reset token
Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026
Weak password recovery in Gambio 4.9.2.0 allows remote attackers to set an arbitrary password for any account with a known ID. The password_double_opt.php save_password action passes customers_id and key to PasswordDoubleOptContentControl.inc.php, whose empty-string check accepts a space-only key and then writes the supplied password. No authentication or valid recovery token is required; knowledge of an account ID is enough to take over that account with its existing privileges.
