Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-71457 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the CRM platform vtenext, specifically in version 25.02 prior to version 25.02.1. The flaw is located within the `hub/rpwd.php` file, where password changes can be executed without any token verification. An unauthenticated attacker who knows a valid username can exploit this vulnerability by sending a `change_password` action to the `RecoverPwd::displayChangePwd()` function. This allows the attacker to change the password of any account and log in, including administrative accounts that do not have two-factor authentication enabled.

Description
vtenext 25.02 before 25.02.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to change any account password via hub/rpwd.php without token verification. Attackers knowing a valid user_name can send action=change_password to RecoverPwd::displayChangePwd() and log in as administrators lacking two-factor authentication.
