CVE-2026-84801

Craft CMS 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.11 Authentication Bypass via administrateUsers

State: Published
Severity: 8.7 High
Published: Sep 2, 2026
Updated: Sep 2, 2026
Reserved: Sep 2, 2026

Description

Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 fail to validate admin status in the actionGetPasswordResetUrl endpoint, allowing non-admin users with administrateUsers permission to mint password reset URLs for administrator accounts. Attackers can generate a valid reset URL for any admin user and set a new password via actionSetPassword, which validates only the verification code without checking the caller's session, enabling complete control-panel takeover.
