Technical details

The vulnerability is an unverified password change in User/forgot3.php that accepts email and password parameters directly from POST data without authentication, CSRF tokens, or email verification. The vulnerable code performs a SQL UPDATE directly on user-supplied email without confirming the requester's identity. Since passwords are stored in plaintext, a remote unauthenticated attacker can reset any user's password and achieve account takeover.
