CVE-2026-39923
Published:August 05, 2026
Updated:September 01, 2026
Flarum before 1.8.16 contains a password reset token expiry bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to reuse expired password reset tokens by submitting them directly to the reset processing endpoint. The SavePasswordController::handle() method calls PasswordToken::findOrFail() without performing any expiry validation, allowing attackers to bypass the 24-hour token lifetime enforced only during form rendering and change any account's password to gain an authenticated session.
