Technical details

A password reset link poisoning vulnerability exists in Taguette versions prior to 1.5.0. The application fails to properly validate or restrict external control of system settings during the password reset request process (CWE-15). An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger a password reset for a target user and manipulate the link generated in the resulting email. If the victim interacts with the poisoned link, the attacker can successfully reset the victim's password and gain full access to their account. This issue is resolved in version 1.5.0.
