Vulnerability-Lookup - Race Condition in Account Recovery Token Consumption Allows Password Takeover

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
  • AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
  • Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
0.22% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 13.5% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
6.3 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

Deferred. NVD last modified this record on 2026-09-29.
Red Hat severity
No Red Hat rating. Red Hat rates the CVEs that affect its products.

Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.

07 Remediation

The non-atomic check-then-consume pattern is replaced with a single conditional UPDATE statement (compare-and-set) that atomically verifies the stored SHA-256 nonce digest, updates the password hash, sets is_confirmed, and clears the token in one database operation. Only the first transaction to commit succeeds; all concurrent attempts match zero rows and are rejected with an error. The view now calls form.validate() before processing the password change, enforcing the form's length and equality validators. The dead consume_account_token() method is removed to eliminate the non-atomic consumption path entirely.
