CVE-2025-62174
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub. In Mastodon before 4.4.6, 4.3.14, and 4.2.27, when an administrator resets a user account's password via the command-line interface using `bin/tootctl accounts modify --reset-password`, active sessions and access tokens for that account are not revoked. This allows an attacker with access to a previously compromised session or token to continue using the account after the password has been reset. This issue has been patched in versions 4.2.27, 4.3.14, and 4.4.6. No known workarounds exist.

En Mastodon antes de las versiones 4.4.6, 4.3.14 y 4.2.27, cuando un administrador restablece la contraseña de una cuenta de usuario a través de la interfaz de línea de comandos usando 'bin/tootctl accounts modify --reset-password', las sesiones activas y los tokens de acceso para esa cuenta no son revocados. Esto permite a un atacante con acceso a una sesión o token previamente comprometido continuar usando la cuenta después de que la contraseña haya sido restablecida.
