Summary

In Piwigo 15.6.0, the password reset function sends a password-reset URL whose hostname is taken from the HTTP request's Host header and is not validated at all. An attacker can send a password-reset URL with a modified hostname to an existing user whose username or email the attacker knows or guesses. This issue has been patched in version 15.7.0.

Risk Assessment

Potential interception of password reset tokens and account takeover, including administrator accounts, via phishing or malicious host injection. This leads to unauthorized access to the gallery and its data.

Recommendation

Update Piwigo to version 15.7.0 or later. Until patched, consider enforcing a correct Host header configuration on the reverse proxy.

Original NVD description (English source)

Piwigo is a full featured open source photo gallery application for the web. In Piwigo 15.6.0, using the password reset function allows sending a password-reset URL by entering an existing username or email address. However, the hostname used to construct this URL is taken from the HTTP request's Host header and is not validated at all. Therefore, an attacker can send a password-reset URL with a modified hostname to an existing user whose username or email the attacker knows or guesses. This issue has been patched in version 15.7.0.
