Craft CMS versions prior to 5.10.11 are vulnerable due to insufficient validation of admin status in the password reset functionality, allowing non-admin users with specific permissions to generate password reset URLs for admin accounts. This flaw can lead to unauthorized access and complete control over the admin panel, posing a significant security risk. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation.

Original NVD 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.
