CVE-2025-62174 Details
Description
Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub. In Mastodon before 4.4.6, 4.3.14, and 4.2.27, when an administrator resets a user account's password via the command-line interface using `bin/tootctl accounts modify --reset-password`, active sessions and access tokens for that account are not revoked. This allows an attacker with access to a previously compromised session or token to continue using the account after the password has been reset. This issue has been patched in versions 4.2.27, 4.3.14, and 4.4.6. No known workarounds exist.
A vulnerability exists in Mastodon versions prior to 4.4.6, 4.3.14, and 4.2.27, where resetting a user's password via the command-line interface does not revoke active sessions or access tokens. This oversight enables an attacker with a compromised session or token to continue accessing the account after the password has been changed. The issue has been addressed in the mentioned patched versions.
Users can update to Mastodon versions 4.4.6, 4.3.14, or 4.2.27 to address this vulnerability.
