Description
Databasus 3.7.0 through 3.61.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to brute-force password reset codes via POST /api/v1/users/reset-password. Attackers can request a six-digit code for a known email, then guess it without rate limiting, lockout, or invalidation to take over accounts, including administrators.

Impact

Databasus versions 3.7.0 through 3.61.0 contain an authentication bypass that permits unauthenticated attackers to retrieve a six‑digit password reset code for a known email address via POST /api/v1/users/reset-password. Because the system provides no rate‑limiting, lockout, or code invalidation, an attacker can brute‑force the code and obtain account control, including administrative accounts. This flaw is a classic example of login‑session tampering (CWE‑307) and results in full account takeover, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

Vendors: Databasus. Product: Databasus application. Affected versions: 3.7.0 through 3.61.0. The vulnerability exists in the password‑reset code generation and validation logic of these releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 9.2 indicates a critical severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the precise exploitation probability is unknown, but the absence of rate limiting makes brute‑force attacks trivially feasible. The vulnerability is not catalogued in CISA KEV, yet the potential impact is high. Attackers can target any exposed instance over the network; the likely vector is remote over the internet via the application API, and no authentication is required to trigger the reset flow. Once the code is guessed, the attacker gains full access to the target account without further obstacles.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Databasus to a patched release when it becomes available.
  • Implement rate limiting on the password reset API, restricting attempts per IP or per account to a small number per hour or per day.
  • Add additional verification to password resets, such as requiring an email confirmation or CAPTCHA and invalidating the code after first use or after a short timeout.
  • Monitor password reset requests for suspicious patterns and automatically lock accounts after repeated failed attempts.
