CVE-2026-94105: NivoCart admin password reset configuration write

CVE-2026-94105 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-09-20

NivoCart is a PHP-based shopping cart system used by small and medium businesses to manage online sales. An unauthenticated attacker can disable password recovery by sending a request with an invalid code to the admin password reset function, which overwrites a configuration setting that controls self-service password recovery. This prevents administrators and users from resetting forgotten passwords until a site administrator manually re-enables the feature, potentially locking legitimate users out of their accounts.

Technologies: NivoCart. Vendors: NivoCart.

Technical details

The admin password reset controller fails to validate the reset code parameter before processing it, allowing an unauthenticated GET request with a missing or malformed code to trigger a config write that sets config_password to 0. The vulnerability exists in the reset.php controller which checks if a user exists for the given code but proceeds to disable password recovery on invalid input. An attacker needs only network access to the admin password reset endpoint; no authentication or user interaction is required.
