CVE-2026-107843

MediumCVSS 5.3
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Contao, an Open Source CMS, versions 4.1.0 through 5.3.50 and 5.7.12, has a vulnerability in ModuleRegistration::compile() that allows the follow-up registration branch to be entered on any POST to a page with the registration module without verifying FORM_SUBMIT or the captcha result. resendActivationMail() can then invoke OptInToken::send() without rate limiting, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to send repeated activation emails and determine if a pending registration exists. This issue is fixed in versions 5.3.50 and 5.7.12.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes sending unwanted activation emails, which could be used for harassment or phishing, and revealing information about pending registrations.

Recommendation

Upgrade Contao to version 5.3.50 or 5.7.12, which contain the fix. Also consider implementing additional rate limiting for email sending.

Original NVD description (English source)

Contao is an Open Source CMS. From version 4.1.0 until 5.3.50 and 5.7.12, ModuleRegistration::compile() enters its follow-up registration branch on any POST to a page containing the registration module without verifying FORM_SUBMIT or the preceding captcha result. resendActivationMail() can then invoke OptInToken::send() without rate limiting, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to cause repeated activation emails to be sent to an address with a pending registration and to determine whether that pending registration exists. The branch is reachable only when reg_activate is enabled and the target has an unconfirmed registration and opt-in token. This issue is fixed in versions 5.3.50 and 5.7.12.
