Description
Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 contains a predictable password-reset token vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to take over user accounts by computing the reset token as sha1(login.password), a deterministic and reusable value. Attackers can derive or brute-force the reset token from known or guessed login and password combinations to forge valid password-reset requests and hijack arbitrary accounts.

Impact

The vulnerability in Omnispace Agora Project before version 26.10.0 allows an attacker to compute the password‑reset token by hashing the user’s login and password together with SHA‑1. Because the token is deterministic and reusable, an unauthenticated attacker who knows or can guess a user’s credentials can reconstruct the valid token and forge a reset request, thereby taking over that account. The impact is the loss of confidentiality and integrity of the user’s account and potentially the entire application, as any account can be hijacked without authentication. The weakness is characterized by CWE‑640, indicating predictable use of a cryptographic function on user credentials.

Affected Systems

Any installation of Omnispace Agora Project running a version earlier than 26.10.0 is affected. The issue is tied to the password‑reset functionality and applies to all user accounts regardless of privilege level.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.1, indicating critical severity. The EPSS score is less than 1 % and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting a low current exploitation probability. Nevertheless, the attack vector is remote and requires no special privileges; an unauthenticated attacker can simply submit a crafted password‑reset request if they have guessed the correct login and password. Because the reset token is reproducible, the risk to any account with known or guessable credentials is high.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Omnispace Agora Project to version 26.10.0 or later, which replaces the deterministic token algorithm with a cryptographically secure random value.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, apply any vendor‑supplied patch that changes the password‑reset token generation and invalidate existing reset tokens.
  • Implement multi‑factor authentication and monitor reset‑token usage for abnormal patterns to mitigate potential exploitation while transition occurs.
