CVE-2026-108109
PHPNuxBill through 2025.3.20 contains an account takeover vulnerability in the customer password reset flow in system/controllers/forgot.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to brute-force the 6-digit otp_code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
PHPNuxBill through 2025.3.20 contains an account takeover vulnerability in the customer password reset flow in system/controllers/forgot.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to brute-force the 6-digit otp_code. Attackers knowing a customer username can guess the code without attempt limits or lockout, then read the newly set password from the HTTP response to hijack the account.
