CVE-2026-107271
MediumCVSS 5.3Summary
Gophish through 0.12.1 contains a rate limit bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to evade /login throttling by spoofing X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP headers. Attackers can send a different forwarded address per request so the limiter keyed on rewritten RemoteAddr never triggers, enabling unlimited password guessing and credential stuffing.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the possibility of brute-force password attacks, potentially leading to account takeover and unauthorized access.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Gophish to a version newer than 0.12.1 and configure rate limiting based on trusted sources, such as the connection IP, ignoring forwarded headers.
Other vulnerabilities in Gophish
See all- CVE-2026-107273Medium
Gophish 0.11.0 through 0.12.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated low-privileged users to reach loopback and private hosts via POST /api/import/site. Attackers can submit internal URLs, which the default dialer deny list does not block, to read service responses and enumerate internal hosts and ports through error messages.
- CVE-2026-107272Medium
Gophish through 0.12.1 contains stored and reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that allow attackers to inject script by returning malicious SMTP server error messages. Attackers controlling or intercepting a sending profile's SMTP server can execute script when administrators view campaign results or send test emails, stealing API keys.
- CVE-2026-107270High
Gophish through 0.12.1 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability that allows authenticated users to take over other users' groups, templates, landing pages and sending profiles. Attackers can supply another user's sequential id in POST requests to /api/groups/, /api/templates/, /api/pages/ or /api/smtp/ to overwrite and reassign objects, locking out owners and exposing victims' recipient lists.
- CVE-2026-107269Low
Gophish through version 0.12.1 contains a timing discrepancy vulnerability in AdminServer.Login that allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid usernames by measuring login response times.
- CVE-2026-82269High
Gophish through 0.12.1 fails to enforce account lockout and password change requirements in the API authentication middleware. Attackers with valid API keys can bypass these security controls and retain full API access even when their account is locked or password change is required.
- CVE-2026-39904Medium
Gophish through version 0.12.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows authenticated users with the User role to exhaust server memory by uploading a crafted Office document as an email template attachment. The ApplyTemplate() function in models/attachment.go processes Office documents as ZIP archives and calls ioutil.ReadAll() on each contained file entry without enforcing size restrictions on uncompressed content, allowing a zip bomb payload to expand to several gigabytes in memory and cause the process to be terminated by the operating system.
