Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in AzuraCast up to 0.23.5. This affects an unknown functionality of the component Password Reset Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a password recovery vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

AzuraCast is a self-hosted, all-in-one web radio management suite. Prior to version 0.23.6, the ApplyXForwarded middleware unconditionally trusts the client-supplied X-Forwarded-Host HTTP header with no trusted proxy allowlist. An unauthenticated attacker can poison the password reset URL sent to any user by injecting this header when triggering the forgot-password flow. When the victim clicks the poisoned link, their reset token is exfiltrated to the attacker's server. The attacker then uses the token on the real instance to reset the victim's password and destroy their 2FA configuration, achieving full account takeover. This issue has been patched in version 0.23.6.
