CVE-2026-47181 Details
Description
PenguinMod-BackendApi is the backend api for penguinmod. Prior to version 1.0.0, a NoSQL injection vulnerability in the password reset endpoint allows any authenticated user to change the password of an account, leading to full account takeover. An attacker only needs a registered account and a valid password reset token for their own account. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.0.
A NoSQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the password reset endpoint of PenguinMod-BackendApi, affecting versions prior to 1.0.0. This vulnerability allows any authenticated user to change the password of an account, leading to full account takeover. The issue arises because the reset endpoint accepts the 'email' field from the POST body without proper validation, allowing attackers to inject malicious queries that are executed against the MongoDB database. Exploitation requires a registered account and a valid password reset token for the user's own account.
Users are advised to update to version 1.0.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
