| Exploitation Conditions | Requires network access to the Vvveb password-reset route (e.g. /user/reset/<anything>/<user>) on an instance running version 1.0.8.6 or earlier, which is the default/unpatched state. The attacker must supply a valid target user identifier in the request and inject a PHP array parameter (user[] and/or token[]) in place of the expected scalar token string; the advisory states the bypass works because the user and token GET parameters are passed to User::get() without is_string()/is_scalar() validation. No authentication, no valid reset token, and no user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N). The practical limiting factors are: the target must be an identifiable existing account, and the deployment must be an unpatched Vvveb instance - upgrading to 1.0.8.7 (the vendor fix) eliminates the flaw, which the advisory presents as the remediation alongside strict scalar input validation and strict token equality checks. |
| Impact | All available signals point the same direction for exploitability: the supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability (base 9.8), and the vuln.today Decision label is act_now. The GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-qw5g-hcm8-9jcj) includes a step-by-step proof-of-concept with screenshots showing a single crafted URL dropping the attacker onto the password-reset screen, which is fully consistent with the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N rating - the trigger is explicitly described as supplying PHP array parameters (user[]/token[]) that bypass token validation. No EPSS probability was provided in the input, and there is no CISA KEV entry, so active in-the-wild exploitation is NOT confirmed; the strong signals here are the trivial mechanics plus a public PoC, not observed attacks. The main factor that tempers real-world risk is deployment footprint: Vvveb is a niche open-source CMS, so this is a genuine act_now priority for anyone actually running it (trivial full account/admin takeover) rather than an internet-wide event. In short, this is a real, high-urgency issue for Vvveb operators, with the caveat that EPSS and KEV data are absent and cannot be cross-referenced. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker visits the password-reset endpoint for a known user (e.g. http://target/user/reset/anything/foo?token[]=), supplying a PHP array for the token parameter instead of a string. Because the user and token GET parameters are passed to User::get() without scalar-type validation, the lookup condition is satisfied without a valid token, and the attacker is taken straight to the 'enter new password' screen and sets a new password for the victim. A public step-by-step PoC with screenshots exists in the vendor advisory; the CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N rating confirms no authentication or user interaction is needed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Vvveb CMS before 1.0.8.7 exposes its password-reset flow to unauthenticated account takeover: an attacker supplies a valid username and a PHP array-style token parameter (for example token[]=), and the handler accepts the reset without a legitimate token. The GitHub advisory documents reproduction steps leading to arbitrary password changes, including administrative accounts, and the vuln.today decision is act_now with a 9.8 CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). A public proof-of-concept is documented in the advisory; no CISA KEV listing is present in the supplied data.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Vvveb 1.0.8.7, the vendor-released patch; the Composer package givanz/vvveb is fixed in 1.0.8.7. The advisory also recommends rejecting non-scalar input for authentication and password-reset parameters with is_string()/is_scalar(), enforcing strict server-side validation before processing user-supplied values, ensuring the database/query layer does not interpret untrusted arrays as query operators, and performing strict equality checks on reset tokens with immediate invalidation after use. No separate interim workaround is documented in the supplied data; if upgrade is delayed, backporting the scalar-validation and strict-token-comparison changes is the advisory-aligned mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Vvveb is a PHP CMS whose password-reset endpoint reads the user and token values directly from GET parameters ($this->request->get['user'] and ['token']) and passes them to User::get() without type validation. CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) applies because the reset handler does not confirm that the supplied values are scalar strings or that the token matches the stored reset token. In PHP, bracket syntax such as token[]= or user[]= causes the request parameter to arrive as an array; the advisory states that User::get() or the underlying query builder may then treat the array as query operators, satisfying the lookup without a valid reset token. The advisory's PoC uses /user/reset/anything/foo?token[]= to reach the new-password screen and complete a reset; the exact database-layer behavior beyond the advisory's description is not detailed in the supplied sources.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vvveb is a powerful and easy to use CMS with page builder to build websites, blogs or ecommerce stores. Prior to version 1.0.8.7, the password reset functionality is vulnerable to an Authentication Bypass due to insufficient validation of the user and token GET parameters. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.8.7.

CWE-287 Improper Authentication.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-110799 allows any unauthenticated attacker to seize control of Vvveb CMS accounts, including administrator accounts, by abusing the password-reset flow. Because exploitation requires no credentials and is trivially reproducible, any internet-exposed deployment of Vvveb CMS prior to 1.0.8.7 should be treated as a potential total-compromise scenario affecting website integrity, customer data, and trust.
Apply vendor patch. If patching cannot be completed immediately, block array-style token parameters at the WAF, restrict password-reset and admin endpoints to trusted networks, enable MFA on all accounts, and monitor authentication logs for anomalous password resets.
