Account password resets via CSRF-unprotected GET request
Published Aug 30, 2026 · Updated Aug 30, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in wger 2.6.0-alpha2 and earlier allows remote attackers to reset account passwords through a crafted URL. The reset_user_password view changes a selected user's password during a GET request, which Django leaves outside CSRF enforcement. Exploitation requires an authenticated gym manager, administrator, or trainer with permission over the target to load the crafted URL, causing an unauthorized password change and account lockout.
