CVE-2025-62406

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.

Summary		(es) Piwigo es una aplicación de galería de fotos de código abierto completa para la web. En Piwigo 15.6.0, usar la función de restablecimiento de contraseña permite enviar una URL de restablecimiento de contraseña al introducir un nombre de usuario o dirección de correo electrónico existente. Sin embargo, el nombre de host utilizado para construir esta URL se toma del encabezado Host de la solicitud HTTP y no se valida en absoluto. Por lo tanto, un atacante puede enviar una URL de restablecimiento de contraseña con un nombre de host modificado a un usuario existente cuyo nombre de usuario o correo electrónico el atacante conoce o adivina. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 15.7.0.
