Description
Gladys Assistant before 5.1.0 contains a password reset link poisoning vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain valid password reset tokens for any account by exploiting the client-supplied origin parameter in the forgot_password endpoint without server-side validation. Attackers can send a crafted request specifying an attacker-controlled origin, causing the victim to receive a poisoned reset link that discloses the session token to the attacker, enabling full account takeover including administrator accounts.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to craft a request to the forgot_password endpoint, including an attacker‑controlled origin header that the server trusts. The resulting password reset link contains the real password reset token, which leaks the session token to the attacker. This enables the attacker to compromise any account, including administrator accounts, without needing valid credentials.

Affected Systems

Any installation of Gladys Assistant with a version earlier than 5.1.0 is affected. The vendor defines the affected product as Gladys Assistant: Gladys Assistant. Specific version numbers are not listed beyond the <5.1.0 threshold.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.4 indicates a high severity. EPSS is not available, so the probability of exploitation can only be inferred from the nature of the flaw. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote unauthenticated HTTP requests to the forgot_password endpoint, which can be triggered from any network connected to the application. Because the vulnerability allows the attacker complete account takeover, it presents a significant risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected services.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Gladys Assistant to version 5.1.0 or later to apply the vendor fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, configure a reverse proxy or application firewall to validate or strip the origin header for the forgot_password endpoint, preventing spoofed requests.
  • Disable or restrict the password reset functionality for untrusted origins via application configuration or network rules until the patch is installed.
