Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in CubeCart up to 6.7.1 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function User::passwordRequest of the file /index.php?_a=recover of the component Request Header Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a password recovery vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

CubeCart is an ecommerce software solution. Prior to 6.7.2, CubeCart 6.6.x – 6.7.1 builds CC_STORE_URL directly from the Host request header at bootstrap, with no allowlist. The constant is embedded verbatim into transactional email links, most critically the password-reset link in User::passwordRequest() (and the admin equivalent in Admin::passwordRequest()). An unauthenticated attacker who knows a target email can POST /index.php?_a=recover with Host: evil.com; CubeCart writes a fresh verify token (valid 3,600 s) and emails the victim a link http://evil.com/index.php?_a=recovery&validate=. The token is valid against the legitimate store — capturing the victim's click on evil.com yields full account takeover, or store takeover when an admin email is targeted. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.7.2.

The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-45055 since 05/08/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely.
