A POST to /login carrying submit_reset and a username needs no authentication: it stores a fresh reset code against that account and mails the account holder a link to a host of the sender's choosing. The welcome mail takes the same path when the application calls create_user with email_welcome set.\n\nThrough 0.711 the handlers read `request->uri_base` and `request->base` directly; Versions 0.712 and later provide an uri_base configuration key that defaults to the untrusted `request->uri_base` when unset.\n\nThe default configuration with reset_password_handler enabled and the default message text, a recipient who follows the link hands a working reset code to the sender's host, which is enough to take over the account.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-640"],"references":["https://metacpan.org/release/ABEVERLEY/Dancer2-Plugin-Auth-Extensible-0.711/source/lib/Dancer2/Plugin/Auth/Extensible.pm#L1031-1053","https://metacpan.org/release/ABEVERLEY/Dancer2-Plugin-Auth-Extensible-0.711/source/lib/Dancer2/Plugin/Auth/Extensible.pm#L1097-1121","https://metacpan.org/release/ABEVERLEY/Dancer2-Plugin-Auth-Extensible-0.712/source/lib/Dancer2/Plugin/Auth/Extensible.pm#L178-194","https://metacpan.org/release/ABEVERLEY/Dancer2-Plugin-Auth-Extensible-0.713/changes","https://metacpan.org/release/ABEVERLEY/Dancer2-Plugin-Auth-Extensible-0.713/source/lib/Dancer2/Plugin/Auth/Extensible.pm#L178-196"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-15689","score":0.00837,"percentile":0.57769,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
