CVE-2026-18363

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A logic vulnerability in the password reset token validation routine implemented by osTicket in versions prior to v1.17.8 and v1.18.4. During the password reset process, the application retrieves the timestamp associated with the provided token and checks whether the configured validity period has expired. Consequently, the expiry check is only performed if the timestamp lookup fails, allowing tokens with an existing timestamp to bypass the intended expiry validation. Therefore, an attacker able to obtain a valid password reset token could reuse it to perform an unauthorised password reset and compromise the affected account.

Durante el proceso de restablecimiento de contraseña, la aplicación recupera la marca de tiempo asociada con el token proporcionado y verifica si el período de validez configurado ha expirado. En consecuencia, la verificación de caducidad solo se realiza si la búsqueda de la marca de tiempo falla, permitiendo que los tokens con una marca de tiempo existente eludan la validación de caducidad prevista. Por lo tanto, un atacante capaz de obtener un token de restablecimiento de contraseña válido podría reutilizarlo para realizar un restablecimiento de contraseña no autorizado y comprometer la cuenta afectada."
