CVE-2026-67351 Details
Description
Serendipity before 2.6.1 contains an authentication context confusion vulnerability where password validation and session loading operate independently without ensuring both use the same user record. An authenticated Editor can create a username collision with an Administrator account and obtain administrative privileges by logging in with their own password while the session loads the Administrator's account data.
A vulnerability in Serendipity versions prior to 2.6.1 allows for authentication context confusion, where password validation and session loading are handled separately without ensuring they reference the same user record. This flaw enables an authenticated Editor to create a username conflict with an Administrator account. By logging in with their own password while the session retrieves the Administrator's data, the Editor can gain administrative privileges.
Users can upgrade to Serendipity version 2.6.1 or later to address this vulnerability.
