CVE-2026-84801
Craft CMS 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.11 Authentication Bypass via administrateUsers
CVSS Score
8.8
EPSS Score
0.0%
EPSS Percentile
0th
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.
