Impact
The vulnerability resides in the send_message_mobile function of controllers/simple.php in aircheng-org iWebShop-5, allowing remote manipulation of the user_id parameter to trigger a weak password recovery mechanism. This flaw falls under the CWE-640 weak password recovery weakness, enabling an attacker to reset passwords with minimal input, potentially compromising user accounts without needing to authenticate first.
Affected Systems
Vendors: aircheng-org; Product: iWebShop-5. The impact applies to all releases up to and including version 5.16. No other product variants are listed.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the exploit is publicly disclosed and can be launched remotely. Attackers can manipulate the user_id argument to trigger password resets, potentially leading to unauthorized account access once privileges are elevated. The risk is therefore measurable but depends on the exposure of the affected endpoint.
