Admin account takeover via password-reset URL injection
Published Jul 9, 2026 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Weak password recovery in Pimcore before 2025.4.6 and 2026.1.0 through 2026.1.5 allows remote attackers to take over admin accounts. UserLoginService appends a real recovery token to the unvalidated resetPasswordUrl supplied to the public reset endpoint and emails that link. A valid admin username and a victim click expose the 24-hour token, which grants full admin access through token login with two-factor authentication disabled.
