Network-exploitable once hash is held (PR:N/AV:N), but AC:H because hash acquisition via separate channel is a mandatory prerequisite; limited C and I impact (account takeover, no availability).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Concrete CMS below 9.5.3 stores user validation hashes for multiple purposes (email/registration validation, password reset, and persistent login) in a single table with a type column, but the redemption path resolves a hash by value alone and does not verify its type. As a result, a hash issued for one purpose can be redeemed for another: a long-lived registration hash (60-day expiry) can be submitted to the password-change endpoint to set a new password on the target account, and a password-reset hash can be submitted to the email-validation endpoint to activate an account. Exploitation requires the attacker to first obtain a valid hash through a separate channel (for example email interception, log exposure, or SSRF against an internal mail relay), so the flaw amplifies the impact of any hash disclosure rather than creating a standalone entry point. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 6.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Yonatan Drori from Tenzai for reporting.
AnalysisAI
Hash type confusion in Concrete CMS (below 9.5.3) allows cross-purpose token redemption: a long-lived registration hash (60-day expiry) can be submitted to the password-change endpoint to take over an account, or a password-reset hash can activate an unverified account. This is an amplifier vulnerability - exploitation requires the attacker to first acquire a valid hash through a separate channel such as email interception, log exposure, or SSRF against an internal mail relay, making it a force-multiplier for hash disclosure rather than a standalone attack path. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to first obtain a valid Concrete CMS user token through an independent channel - specifically, email interception of a registration confirmation or password-reset link (e.g., via SSRF against an internal mail relay, access to application or mail server logs, or man-in-the-middle on unencrypted email transport). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 score of 6.3 with AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N appropriately captures the conditional risk: high attack complexity (AC:H) and the presence of a prerequisite attack (AT:P) signal that this is not a standalone exploit. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.3, which resolves the hash type confusion by enforcing type-matching during token redemption. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
