Technical details
CubeCart (versions 6.6.x to 6.7.1) improperly constructs the 'CC_STORE_URL' constant using the 'Host' HTTP request header without validation during bootstrap. An unauthenticated attacker can provide a malicious Host header (e.g., evil.com) when triggering a password reset request via '/index.php?_a=recover'. The application then generates a legitimate verification token but embeds it into a URL pointing to the attacker's domain within the transactional email sent to the victim. If the victim clicks the link, the attacker captures the valid token, which can be used against the real store to reset the password and achieve full account or administrative takeover. This issue is fixed in version 6.7.2.
