Account-security bypass via unfiltered profile updates
Published May 21, 2026 · Updated May 21, 2026
Improper privilege management in Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter account security settings. The user-profile edit controller passes the raw POST array to UserInfo::update() without a field allowlist, exposing password and IP-pinning attributes. Any registered user can change the account password without the current password and disable per-user IP pinning intended to detect session hijacking.
