CVE-2026-112775: Craft CMS verification code reuse allows account takeover

CVE-2026-112775 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-19

Craft CMS, a website content management system, contains a flaw in how it validates one-time codes sent to users for email verification and password resets. An attacker who obtains a victim's verification code can use it twice: once after the victim legitimately verifies a new email address, and again to reset the password and take over the account. This means a single intercepted code grants full account access.

Technologies: Craft CMS. Vendors: Craft.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass due to incomplete verification code invalidation. The verify-email endpoint only clears the verification code for pending users; for active users changing their email, the code is promoted without invalidation. The same code is later accepted by the set-password endpoint, which correctly nulls it—but the victim's legitimate email verification does not consume it. An attacker with out-of-band access to the code (leaked mail, shared inbox, or logs) can reuse it for unauthorized password reset after the victim completes email verification.
