Description
EspoCRM through 10.0.8 uses PHP's rand() function to generate tokens for lead-capture opt-in, event invitation, and campaign URLs instead of a cryptographically secure generator. Remote unauthenticated attackers can guess these roughly 31-bit tokens to confirm opt-ins, accept or decline event invitations on behalf of other contacts, and access event details.

AI Analysis

Impact

EspoCRM versions up to 10.0.8 generate short, predictable tokens with PHP's rand() instead of a cryptographically secure source. These tokens are used in lead‑capture opt‑in links,. An attacker who can guess a token can confirm opt‑ins, manually accept or decline event invitations on behalf of other contacts, and view event details, effectively bypassing required authorization for those actions.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects EspoCRM installations running any version through 10.0.8. The code paths that generate the tokens are located in the Util.php and UniqueId.php files in the application folder. No specific sub‑versions are listed beyond the main 10.0.8 release, so any deployment of EspoCRM older than or equal to that version is potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% shows that real world exploitation is currently unlikely, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nevertheless, the attack vector is remote, unauthenticated, and requires only the ability to try a handful of 31‑bit token values. If an attacker can discover a access to event‑related functionality without needing to authenticate to the system. The limited token space makes exhaustive guessing feasible, especially for low‑volume events.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade EspoCRM to the latest release where the token generator has been replaced by a cryptographically secure implementation (see the commit that replaced rand() in Util.php).
  • After upgrading, re‑generate any existing event or campaign URLs that contain the old predictable tokens to prevent reuse of compromised tokens.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, limit or disable the exposure of external links, or remove the token‑based URL mechanism until a secure implementation is deployed.
