CVE-2025-62406 Details
Description
Piwigo is a full featured open source photo gallery application for the web. In Piwigo 15.6.0, using the password reset function allows sending a password-reset URL by entering an existing username or email address. However, the hostname used to construct this URL is taken from the HTTP request's Host header and is not validated at all. Therefore, an attacker can send a password-reset URL with a modified hostname to an existing user whose username or email the attacker knows or guesses. This issue has been patched in version 15.7.0.
A vulnerability in Piwigo version 15.6.0 allows for account takeover through the password reset function. The application sends a password-reset URL by using the hostname from the HTTP request's Host header, which is not validated. This flaw enables an attacker to modify the hostname in the password-reset URL to one of their choosing, potentially leading to the theft of the reset key and unauthorized access to the victim's account.
Users are advised to update to Piwigo version 15.7.0, where this vulnerability has been patched.
