- Fix
5.73.10- Upgrade statamic/cms to this version or later
Description
Impact
An attacker may leverage a vulnerability in the password reset feature to capture a user's token and reset the password on their behalf.
The attacker must know the email address of a valid account on the site, and the actual user must blindly click the link in their email even though they didn't request the reset.
Patches
This has been fixed in 6.7.1 and 5.73.10.
Note that a follow-up report showed the original 6.3.3 fix to be insufficient. The 5.73.10 fix was sufficient.

Weakness
CWE-640: Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password
The product contains a mechanism for users to recover or change their passwords without knowing the original password, but the mechanism is weak.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design: Make sure that all input supplied by the user to the password recovery mechanism is thoroughly filtered and validated.
- Architecture and Design: Do not use standard weak security questions and use several security questions.
- Architecture and Design: Make sure that there is throttling on the number of incorrect answers to a security question. Disable the password recovery functionality after a certain (small) number of incorrect guesses.
- Architecture and Design: Require that the user properly answers the security question prior to resetting their password and sending the new password to the e-mail address of record.
- Architecture and Design: Never allow the user to control what e-mail address the new password will be sent to in the password recovery mechanism.
- Architecture and Design: Assign a new temporary password rather than revealing the original password.
