CVE-2026-29069 Details
Description
Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.9.0-beta.2 and 4.17.0-beta.2, the actionSendActivationEmail() endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated users and does not require a permission check for pending users. An attacker with no prior access can trigger activation emails for any pending user account by knowing or guessing the user ID. If the attacker controls the target user’s email address, they can activate the account and gain access to the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.0-beta.2 and 4.17.0-beta.2.
A vulnerability in Craft CMS versions 4.0.0-RC1 prior to 4.17.0-beta.2 and 5.0.0-RC1 prior to 5.9.0-beta.2 allows unauthenticated users to access the actionSendActivationEmail() endpoint without permission checks for pending users. This oversight enables an attacker to send activation emails for any pending user account by guessing the user ID. If the attacker controls the target user's email, they can activate the account and gain access to the system.
Users can update to Craft CMS versions 5.9.0-beta.2 or 4.17.0-beta.2, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
