Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Kanboard up to 1.2.45. This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality of the component Password Reset Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a password recovery vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-640. The product contains a mechanism for users to recover or change their passwords without knowing the original password, but the mechanism is weak. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Kanboard is project management software that focuses on the Kanban methodology. Prior to version 1.2.46, Kanboard allows password reset emails to be sent with URLs derived from the unvalidated Host header when the application_url configuration is unset (default behavior). This allows an attacker to craft a malicious password reset link that leaks the token to an attacker-controlled domain. If a victim (including an administrator) clicks the poisoned link, their account can be taken over. This affects all users who initiate a password reset while application_url is not set. This issue has been patched in version 1.2.46.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2025-52560 since 06/18/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1552 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 1.2.46 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch bca2bd7ab95e7990e358fd35a7daf51a9c16aa75 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
